Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

You may have: pleurisy or an inflammation of the muscles and bones of your chest. Fibromyalgia? It is highly unlikely to be cardiac. If it persists after taking an anti-inflamatory like Aleve or Motrin you should see health care provider for further evaluation.
