Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had pain in the soft spot between my chest plates for about a month now and more burping than normal. Also stress seems to make it worse. Sounds like acid reflux, but is that a dull pain you're aware of all the time which flares up after eating and during stress?
I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a gasto esophageal disorder (reflux, gastritis, esophagitis, a hiatal hernia, etc).
You should know that the symptomatology related to the above disorders is very variable.
Heartburn and burping are typical of these disorders. Anxiety and spicy foods, including coffee are known to exacerbate the situation.

What Could Cause Pain In Between Chest Plate?
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a gasto esophageal disorder (reflux, gastritis, esophagitis, a hiatal hernia, etc). You should know that the symptomatology related to the above disorders is very variable. Heartburn and burping are typical of these disorders. Anxiety and spicy foods, including coffee are known to exacerbate the situation. Have you tried to take any PPIs (omeprazole, lansoprazole, etc) or antiacids. I strongly encourage you to start taking the above mentioned drugs. The relief of your symptoms would be very indicative for such disorder. If your symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with a gastro enterologist and perform a GI endoscopy to examine better your digestive tract. Hope to have been helpful! Best regards, Dr. Iliri
