Noncardiac: Sounds like a musculoskeletal strain but go see your doctor and get checked up to be sure.

Chest pain: This pain is almost certainly musculoskeletal in etiology. There is some chance it could be esophageal reflux exacerbated by anxiety.

Costal chondrites: Inflammation occurs at place where rib joins the breast plate. If you press on this location the pressure of palpation arouses exquisite pain. This localized and arousable pain indicates that the pain is not from the heart. If it persists a small cortisone injection can work wonders.
