Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

The burning sensation all over your chest could be due to a nerve injury or compression due to minor spinal injury or edema after an injury. I'm limited here with the inability to examine you, hence I'll not be able to give you more information regarding the possibilities.

Short breaths with heart flutter might be related to a cardiac problem. You need a careful assessment by your physician for proper diagnosis and further treatment.

I hope this answers your query effectively. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Wish you good health.
