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!
