Hello, as the pain is excruciating and has occurred suddenly, heart might not be the first cause, however acute myocardial infarction should be ruled out with an ecg..
In high probability it may be a nerve pain, due to some Co existing cervical spondylitis. Do rule out the same.
Tab dolo /crocin 650, if not effective ultracet would be safest option considering your heart condition.
