A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common=common: The most common trigger for central chest pain at your age is related to the swallow tube that passes just behind the heart. It enters the stomach there & backwash from stomach acid triggers sometimes sharp or gnawing discomfort. It amplifies if you consume caffeine/nicotine or lay down after meals. Unless you have had a good evaluation for GI reflux I think your worry is missing the obvious.
