Is Muscular Skeletal Inflammation, Related With Chest Pain?

I have a slightly weird pain on the left side of my chest, it isn't strong, and it doesn't happen often. my doctor said it was muscular skeletal inflammation and i doubt very much that that is what it was. the pain is not strong and it doesn't feel heavy or tight. Are you able to tell me what it is?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, musculoskeletal pain can be the cause for your chest pain.
But better to rule out heart diseases first because your pain is on left side of chest.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.. Take simple painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, inflammation will subside by this and your pain will be gone.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
