Consider Heart Issue: Any form of chest discomfort should be evaluated to rule out a heart issue. Other causes could include blood clots in the lungs, or simpler and more benign conditions such as ribcage/chest wall pain. It is important to see a doctor if your fingers have had discoloration. If wrist pain is present, this could be carpal tunnel syndrome, especially since it is primarily your index finger and thumb.

Nonspecific: Although your symptoms were nonspecific, I feel they warrant an evaluation by your physician who may then refer you to a specialist like a cardiologist for more testing. That episode of prolonged chest distress could have been of esophageal origin however.
