There is: absolutely NO reason to think its "your heart" You carried bundles and hurt afterwards....the answer is clear..you strained some of your rib muscles or cartilages resulting in chest discomfort! Apply ICE then HEAT whatever helps more CONTINUE! Hope this helps Dr Z

Hard to tell.: From this brief description it is difficult to tell the cause. However, because the heart is one possibility, you should be seen in the emergency room right away. Once that is ruled out, then the other potential possibilities could be evaluated. Go now. Do not delay.
