Hello
Thanks for the query.
There can be various causes for your heaviness in chest and nausea.Basically any organ or tissue in your chest can be the source of pain, including your heart, lungs, esophagus, muscles, ribs, tendons, or nerves. Pain may also spread to the chest from the neck, abdomen, and back.
The most common causes can be
A heart problem like angina or pericarditis
A lung problem like pleurisy or pneumonia
Inflammation where ribs join breast bone or sternum called as costchondritis
Pain and spasm of back muscles radiating to front
Stomach problems like GERD or gall stones or gastritis etc
The chances of heart problem increases if you are a smoker,overweight,having diabetes,having high cholesterol or with a family history of heart problems or having high blood pressure.
You must consult your doctor for the proper examination and investigations to arrive at the diagnosis and subsequent reatment.
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
