Several causes: Gerd can cause cardiac like symptoms. Muscle strain in the chest cavity can cause similar pain. Sometimes, weightlifters when they bench press and overdue it can get severe chest discomfort the following day. Seldom, hiatial hernia can cause indirect pain. Esophigeal spasm can cause discomfort when swallowing. Gastric ulcer and gastritis when you have inflammation in the stomach are others.
