Hi thanks for asking question.
Usually with chest pain we think about ischemic heart disease and we do ECG for it.
Your ECG is normal so IHD chance are less.
Second this could be because of musculoskeletal pain.heavy exercise , heavy weight lift or improper bed posture can be the cause.simple analgesic and hot compress helpful for that.
Prolong acid reflux also lead to such pain.omeprazole taken for it.
Here you have symptoms since 1 month so better to rule out respiratory cause by doing chest x ray if cough,fever also present.
Take enough rest.
I hope my suggestion will help you
