Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No need to worry for heart diseases as your extensive cardiac work up is normal. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So no need to rush to emergency, just follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous. 2. Avoid sudden jerky movements. 3. Sit with proper back support. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. 6. Wear rib belt. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.
