Hi,
Welcome to the HCM
There can be some causes of chest pain .it depends what is the preceding history.For example if it occur after having large meal or while hungry can be associated with reflux acidity.If it occur after climbing some stairs or exertion ,it could be cardiac,even it could be muscle pain too due to wrong posture.So I would suggest get checked by nearby doctor and you may need some investigations for example ECG,24 hr PH studies and x_ray chest to be done after discussing with your treating doctor.
