Chest pain has many causes. Acid reflux, indugestation, blocked arteries or heart disease. The best to ask about this and run tests is a cardiologist. Get a referel from your primary care doctor. Please get tests done to determine what is could be, or not be. Take care.

With heart artery blockages many times exertion begins angina (heart pain) and there is relief almost immediately with rest in the early stages. Later stages there is angina without much exertion and rest does not provide relief then nitro tablets or medication with similar effect is prescribed.

Not familair with other heart pain but inflammation of various area of the heart can cause pain.
