Not Likely.: The symptoms you describe are most likely musculoskeletal in nature. This can occur when you overwork muscles for example with strenous exercise or heaving lifting for example. You do not say if you have any other problems. Cardiac pain is typically substernal, pressure like, with radiation to neck, jaw and sometimes down the arm. Of course, if this should reoccur, you should see you physician.
