Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that based on your prescription of the chest pain, Angina can not be excluded, although fibromyalgia and syringomyelia could mimic this clinical situation too.
Coming to this point, I recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- a cardiac ultrasound
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation.

Take care
