Possible: A common cause of chest pain is "heart burn" caused by excessive acid secreted by the lining of the stomach. The pain usually has a burning quality, although some people may describe it as sharp. Most sharp chest pain originates from the chest wall. If the pain is sharp, worsened by movement or taking a deep breath, and lasts for several seconds to minutes, it is usually chest wall pain.
