Hello

Dear in chest many parts un your cheat. The pain may be arising from esophagus,heart,lungs, muscles and bronchioles.
if it is associated with food may be related to stomach and esophagus. gastritis and gastroesophageal reflex may present like tightness and burning in chest and abdomen.
if it is associated with cough,douran probably it is arising from lungs or respiratory bronchioles.
if it us associated with palpitations,chest pain,giddiness it may be associated with heart.
some times muscular pain may cause chest pain.but we need complete evaluation and follow up for this.
But don't neglect the pain first we have to rule out pain not arising from heart. then we treat as non cardiac pain no worries. please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
