Hi. There can be many reasons for this symptom-complex, the commonest can be due to heart problems like myocardiac infarct. Another possible reason may be related to oesophagus. I would first advice you to undergo EKG/ ECG to rule out heart problem. If this is normal would like to go for x-ray of the chest and upper GI endoscopy. This can be a serious problem unless proved otherwise, needs urgent medical attention.
