It appears that you've excluded cardiac,pulmonary & esophageal causes of your symptoms. Only parasthesias of the rib cage origin is left. This is akin to peripheral neuropathy symptoms which occur in hands& feet but can also occur in the chest. I don't know if you're interested in a trial of taking a medication like gabapentin to see if it prevents the burning sensation in your chest.
