See your doctor and get a physical exam along with an EKG. If it is chest wall pain, the physical exam will reveal that. If it is at all related to your heart, your EKG will be abnormal. If there is some other etiology, like GI reflux, there are other tests diagnose other issues. So, see your doctor for evaluation/treatment. Good luck!
