Chest pain: Pressure under the sternum is always of concern. Heart issues always a concern either angina, ACS or pericarditis or pericardial effusion. The espophagus lies behind the heart and problems such as reflux can cause chest pressure. Respiratory issues such as bronchospasm can be sensed as pressure.
