What Causes Sudden Sharp Chest Pain After Taking Spinal Injections?

I had a lumbar injection today for a L5-S1 herniation. I am a healthy 43 year old female with no chronic issues. During the injection I experienced a sudden onset of sharp chest pain that has continued now after a couple hours. Is this a side effect? I am a registered nurse in the ER and I know that most phycians would tell me to go to the ER but with no cardiac issues I don’t really want to. Thanks
