Hello and welcome to 'Ask me Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Burning pain in chest is usually due to acid reflux in easophagus. stress in your case is provocative factor for hyperacidity and reflux.
take capsule omeprazole 12 hourly for 2 days and if pain is not relieved consult physician and get ECG done.
to avoid stress start meditation and yoga early morning.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
Dr. Hiren
