See if that's: related to your diet or what you eat? If so, it may have something to do with heartburn like symptoms. See your doctor to get relief. Time to get relief as s/he must examine you physically before recommending OTC or Rx meds. Also, to rule out other conditions that may have nothing to do with your diet, and may be neurological or musculoskeletal. This requires a doctor to help you! Good luck!

Heartburn: Heartburn would be a very common cause. Other possibilities include plurisy, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, pericarditis, pneumothoax, costochondritis (rib pain), shingles and lower on the list would be heart attack. You should be seen for this.

Yes: Always get chest pain evaluated to be safe, and assure it is not cardiac in nature, or anything that would need medical attention. See dr. Asap.
