hello and welcome to HCM
Pain in chest has many causes namely:
1. Cardiac pain
2. Muscular pain
3. Reflux associated pain
4. Pathology of respiratory system

Consult your physician for detailed history, clinical examination and investigations.
A X-ray chest, ECG will rule out any pathology of cardiovascular system and respiratory system.
Trauma of any kind can also cause such a pain.
If there is previous history of gas and acidity especially after having fatty and spicy food gives a clue to reflux associated pain.

Discuss your problem with your physician for further management.

Thanks and take cvare
