This is not characteristic of coronary artery disease but could occur with pericarditis( inflammation of the heart sac). The EKG usually shows it. Other possibilities include pinched nerve between 2 ribs with sharp pain with a deep breath,or a intervertebral disc or spur pressing on a nerve root in the lower neck or upper back. Apparently not from lung.Get reexamined by your MD.or cardiologist 1st

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably to start with your primary provider for an initial assessment and to ascertain if a specialist consultation is needed. Wish you good health!
