Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service !

Regardin your concern, I would explain that this symptom is not suggestive of a heartburn or any heart disorder.

This is usually a sign of musculoskeletal inflammation or a pinched nerve.

If this kind of feeling is triggered by deep breathing or pressure on the chest, it is typical of musculoskeletal inflammation.

So, there is no reason to panic!

I would just recommend using warm local packs and taking ibuprofen for the pain.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,
