Heart not likely: Your symptoms are not typical for heart. Most likely they are musculoskeletal in origin with many other possible causes possible as well. Keeping a log with your symptoms, including activities may only help in trying to identify a possible pattern. Having workup should help in clarifying. Anxiety is usually part of the complex.

I've been having chest pain right in the middle of my chest since last Thursday evening after eating ice cream-which I never eat. I have a history of Gastroesophageal reflux disease but it usually doesn't last this long nor does a heart attack right?
