You are correct: You are correct that both of these conditions can give you chest pains - non cardiac, but usually they are located in different place and they stronger. Possibly you have muscular pain due to pulled muscle.

Possible: Both conditions can cause chest pain. The most important thing you can do is discuss your symptoms and concerns with your family physician. A more definitive answer, and possibly alleviate your concern, will depend on thorough review of history and physical examination. Based on that, additional studies may be indicated.
