Hello,

The symptoms & the case history as mentioned in your post suggest that the chest pain might be due to the underlying cardiac pathology.
So, investigations like an Electrocardiogram or Stress Echocardiography can clinch the diagnosis.

Other causes of chest pain include:
1. Strained chest muscles
2. Short-term, sudden anxiety with rapid breathing
3. Peptic ulcer disease
4. Pain from the digestive tract, such as esophageal reflux

Even in the causes involving the digestive tract like acid reflux, pain is localized in chest & upper abdomen.
So, it will be better to consult your treating physician to rule out other causes.
So that proper management steps could be taken.

Wishing you a Good Health. Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
