Hello Sir, Thanks for your post. Well, the pain that you are describing can be related to the heart but in this case it looks more like a lung condition. Did you suffer from cold or any respiratory tract infection in the recent past? But in any case the strong suspicion of any coronary event should be ruled out. You should go for tests like ECG, echocardiogram, and blood tests like Troponin T quantitative analysis. In case the tests results are negative then you should proceed with a physicians help for any lung infection.
