Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Based on the data you provided your symptoms aren't typical for cardiac issues. Your symptoms are more likely related to muscle pain. This is why I strongly recommend using advil and hot bags to relieve pain.

If the pain persist or the things seems to get worse you should go to ER for further examinations.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
