Chest wall pain: Your symptoms are likely coming from your chest wall. Heart pain is usually in the center of the chest and is more often described with a clenched fist or with words like heaviness/tightness/pressure/burning or "like an elephant sitting on my chest". Heart pain is constant, not pulsating, and not located in one small area you can point to with one finger. It is not sharp, stabbing or needle like.
