Purely descriptiver: This is purely descriptive and means not usual muscle spasms of your anterior or front chest. It doesn't give a cause.

Chest wall spasm: First it means you should always ask the Doctor to explain what they are telling you and make sure you understand. Second, they told you there was muscle spasm in the chest wall and your pain was not heart related.
