What Causes Chest Pain?

I had this really bad chest pain last night and my arm was hurting as well and then I just thought it was a heart burn so I went to sleep. I woke up this morning and it was gone, but its been back for like the past 30 minutes. Its hard to breathe and when I take a deep breath it feels like something is in the way and puts more pressure onto my chest. Could you please tell me what this could be? Thank You

well, it can be a heartburn as a good news.....or as a bad news may be a forerunner for a heart attack. You need to get serious specially if you have the risk factors like male sex, older age, smoking, HTN, diabetes, lipid problems...You need to be cncerned if you have pressure sensation on your chest on exertion r a heavy meal and that subsides on rest.....Also be alarmed if you have a sensation of impending doom and excess sweating during those chest discomfort....lIf these alarm symptoms are there please contact a cardiologist.
