Hello,
You should explain it to your doctor. He or she should order a chest X-ray and an ECG. If they come negative than no lung and heart problems. Probably gastric reflux is another cause. Please talk with your doctor for this.

Hello,
It might be a gastric reflux that cause this kind of pain. Usually in such cases we recommend anti acid medications such as Omeprazole orally twice. If it gets better you can continue it. Please discuss with your doctor first.
