Hi, Thanks for writing in. A slight disc bulge at C 7 disk is not a concern, though you might have to limit your heavy physical activity. The commonest cause for chest pain in the absence of cold and cough is gastritis followed by cardiac pain. These pains have typical characteristics and distribution but at times they can be atypical and also involve the right hand. It is always better to get your heart checked by the PCM. This is important because it has happened earlier and heart disease complications are preventable if treated on time.
