What Causes Burning Sensation In The Chest?

I have been feeling some kind of burning sensation in my chest cavity for a couple of weeks. I awoke tonight with a fluttered temporary pain in my left side under followed by a sharp one more in the central-right area that went away. Now that burning sensation is back.
