Yes. The entrance to the stomach is just to the left of and behind the heart. Any activity that transfers pressure to that area, like a deep breath, may trigger discomfort when there is active irritation of that structure.

Conceivably with the understanding that musculoskeletal causes remain among the most common causes of chest pain at rest. Difficulties in diagnosing and treating them and their rather limited life threatening potential make them unattractive in diagnostic algorithms.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If you have acid reflux, your symptoms could be due to that. If you are overweight losing weight is imperative. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
