Brief Answer:
Get done ecg first.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case but better to rule out cardiac cause first for your symptoms.
So get done ecg. If ecg is normal than no need to worry much for this pain.
You can take simple painkiller for this pain.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
