Likely GI, but...: In general, such a pain does not sound like heart pain, which is what most people would be concerned about.However, young people can have heart attacks. Such things as family history, smoking, gender, other diseases like high BP and diabetes increase the risk.However, i would think musculoskeletal or GI like reflux more likely.Bad pain, worsening, radiation, nausea, sweating or short breath-be seen.
