Non-cardiac pain: As long as cardiac-related cause has sufficiently been ruled out; common causes of chest pain such as this can be related to esophageal muscle spasm, acid reflux, anxiety or chest wall pain. A one-on-one discussion with a physician is necessary to further narrow the possibilities and recommend treatment.
