Possibly Heart: There are many reasons you might have chest pains - one possibility is a narrowed heart artery causing angina. This typically occurs with exertion and resolves with resting. Symptoms might be a pressure, pain, burning or tightness in the chest which radiates to your neck, jaw, shoulder or arms. Other risk factors include smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure and a family history of heart dz.
