   Basically if the pain is reproducible with movement and breathing then it is muscular if not it might be cardiac related.

   I was afraid once that if i had a heart attack, would i know.
   Oh Yes!! I Did!
   It can be a heart thing if you’re moving. If you take a walk and start getting chest pain, you need to go to ER. I get angina sometimes just by doing dishes. And i know that’s what it is.
   If you’re having any of these things going on you need to see your doc and let him tell you what it is.
