What Causes Constant Chest Pain And Burning Sensation In Mid Chest?

I ve had constant chest pain for 2 weeks. It started as a random pain on my left side that felt like a needle through my chest and calmed down to a burning sensation in the middle and sometimes on the right. When I am laying down not moving it is so mild but once I begin moving it seems to increase. I also have a lack of appetite.
