A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pain: Such positional chest discomfort along with a burning sensation, without cough or shortness of breath, may be from GERD but could also be from pressure on a nerve root by a disc or bone spur at the lower neck or upper spine vertebrae. Another possibility is left rib pathology. I would start with an evaluation by your physician who will order tests and referral to specialists if deemed advisable
