Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

One of the main cause after heart problem is Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this condition stomach contents regurgitate back to esophagus resulting in pain in chest behind sternum. Other causes include:

> Acid Peptic Disease:
In this pain occurs in stomach area. Associated with or without food.

> Muscular Spasm:
It occurs due to lifting heavy load. Causes spasm of the chest muscles resulting in chest pain
