Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,

First of all come out of your panic and misbeliefs. Chest pain on exertion is the most important clinical symptom of Anginal chest pain. I don't think you have this clinical symptom. If you still have doubt about your chest pain, consult a cardiologist and get done the stress test. It will reveal clearly whether you have cardiac pain or not.

If you need any further clarifications, get back to me.
Regards,
DR.sivayogi.
