Does Discomfort In Chest Indicate Sign Of Heart Disease?

I have had some discomfort in my chest, sometimes above my shoulder blades in my back. It will go away once I start moving around. Now I get nervous every time I have any discomfort in my chest - that makes it worse, but it always goes away when I start to move around, clean, walk the dog etc. Are these signs of heart disease, even if they go away WITH exercise?

hai,
Chest pain with associated symptoms like breathlessness,sweating can give a lead to heart disease.
As chest discomfort disappear after postural variations indicates some musculoskeletal problems.

All chest discomfort may not be a heart problem.esophagus (food pipe) and stomach oriented problem also cause chest discomfort.

ECG and ECHO and treadmill stress test is needed to rule out cardiac cause.

Thank you
hope i answered your query.
