Brief Answer:
Please go see a doctor for blood work, I fear this is cardiac in nature.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM: Good day, Please note that I worry that these obscure symptoms are actually a heart issue. Do you have Acid reflux, do you burp/belch a lot? Also note that if you have a family history of heart disease and you have high cholesterol or are obese, I worry this is a heart condition that needs some lab work/troponins and EKG to be done. Please note that this may just be Acid reflux, but we have to rule out a heart attack as the condition of your symptoms, remember that many women present in very atypical ways when they have heart disease.

Brief Answer:
Yes, this could be your heart, do you have heart disease in your family?

Detailed Answer:
If in fact you do not have acid reflux, then I worry that this is truly cardiac in origin, with these symptoms, even if they turn out to be something else, you do not want to miss the opportunity to correct a heart issue. Please visit with your doctor, and even if it is a spinal issue, you can imagine that you need to see a doctor sooner than later.
