Chest pain: There are many causes of chest pain, the heart is but one, intestinal gas and thoracic musculoskeletal pains are very common, anxiety and panic attacks likewise are frequent causes. You should always ask the doctors who see you what they think is the problem you came for and what to do about it.

Muscular: The most likely cause is muscular pain or arthritis in your neck, back or shoulder but evaluation with a chest x-ray and stress test would be reassuring.
