Please go to the emergency room. Any kind of chest pain needs to be evaluated by a doctor asap. Perhaps you pulled a muscle or have respiratory infection but you should be seen immediately.
I believe you have costochondritis. In this condition, the cartilage of your rib cage becomes inflamed. The pain from costochondritis may occur suddenly and be intense, leading you to assume you're having a heart attack. Yet the location of the pain is different. Costochondritis causes your chest to hurt when you push on your sternum or on the ribs near your sternum.
* Treatment involves conservative local care with careful use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) as needed.
* Local heat or ice may be helpful in relieving the symptoms.
* Avoid unnecessary exercise or activities that make the symptoms worse. Avoid contact sports until there is improvement in symptoms, and then return to normal activities only as tolerated.
