Muscular chest pain: After doing pushups and then having muscle pains, this is most likely muscle pain. There are muscles on the front of the chest in front of the heart that may be strained by pushups, especially if you don't do this exercise regularly. You can try some over the counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen for a few days and it should resolve. Best to take those meds with food.
