Irritation of the esophagus.: This can be viral in nature. You might have some acid reflux which is causing irritation. Try some milk or antacid and see if it feels better. If it then feels better look up guidelines for treatment of gastroesophageal reflux.

Likely not serious: It sounds like you have musculoskeletal chest pain. However, there may be other causes. You should see your doctor for evaluation if symptoms persist.
