What Causes Pain In Chest?

I have a slight pain in chest. It feels like it is just below the sternum. Under my Pec. Also, I do jumping jacks to get heart rate up and there is no increase in pain. Sometimes at night when I am sleeping the pain can be sharp and then dissipate. If I stretch my arms back and expand my chest I also feel slight pain. 1-10 scale I would pain is a 3-4. I recently had an EKG which did not show anything wrong. I am stumped?

U might be suffering for peptic ulcer disease . Jst take antacids for a week and see if the symptoms resolve. Do not go to bed or lie supine for atleast 1 hr after your dinner and also have light diet at night.. Avoid tea, coffee and smoking( if u do)
