Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. First, no need to worry about heart diseases because he is young (29 years) and having normal ECG. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So tell him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.2. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest and shoulder.4. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.Don't worry, he will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
