Specializes in Family Medicine

MUsculoskeletal: NO concern here regarding your heart. This would be highly unusual as most common in this age group and symptomatically is chest wall syndrome or of a musculoskeletal origin. Have you been doing sports? Try some ibuprofen and see if it helps. If not see your doc.
