Your resting heart rate is no great shakes. Mine is 60 and I'm
significantly older than you. Last time they took mine in an ER
(got bit by a f*cking stray cat and my thumb swelled up like a
balloon), I was standing when they took it (a busy night at the
ER I guess). My bp was 98/65.

The nurse couldn't believe it, so after a couple of tries she got
some pimply faced intern to try himself. He did it twice with the
same result. He asked me if I ran. I said, not unless someone is
chasing me.

How could they possible tell you had a strained chest muscle? They were
just
guessing. If the pains came on suddenly, you may have had muscle cramps in
the chest. That's different than a strain.

A stress test was done. Range of motion test was consistent with muscle
tissue
damage.
I don't smoke, drink or have heart disease in my family. I'm about twice
as
strong as most humans and have a resting heart rate (tested that eve) of
68. My
cholesterold was recently tested at 144.
I'm 40 years old. See you in 50 years or so!
