Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. But better to rule out cardiac chest pain because it is located in heart area, and you are having murmur. So better to get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about major heart related diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain due boxing exercise is more. So avoid exercise for few days. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
