Cardiac pain is never easy to be diagnosed and is sometimes also missed by expert physician.Better is that when you have heavyness in chest with pricking pain which radiates anywhere from throat to forelimb or arm and if on left side you go for physician consultation and get your ECG ,once you have your ECG normal you are safe.Mostly then the pain is muscular or due to gastritis.Hypertension is another risk factor for your case so always be carefull.

Hope this helps and clears your doubts,
thanks
