Hi thanks for asking question.
Here you can do ECG to rule out ischemic heart disease.Usually in this case pain is severe and radiating to arm with sweating.So chances of ischemic heart disease is less.
Mostly you might have simple musculoskeletal pain , may be because of wrong posture while in sleep.Take simple analgesic for that.
If still pain not relieved then do further work up with x ray chest to rule out infective etiology if associated fever is there.
CRP and CBC also will be helpful in further work up after few days if pain is getting increased.
I hope i have solve your query.thanks
