Suggest Remedy For Pain In Chest

What I'm a 24 year old male, obeise and a sedetary lifestyle. For the past year i've been having pain in the middle of my chest. The pain comes and goes and usually lasts for hours. I would describe it as a burning pain. The worst episodes occur at night when I'm trying to sleep. Since I started getting symptoms I have changed my diet and lost almost 60 lbs. I'm on medication for high blood pressure and had an ekg, xray, and blood test a little over a month ago when i was feeling dizzy with the pain. Everything turned out fine with my heart. When the symptoms first presented I was told that my gallbladder was to blame, I had a hidas (sp) scan and the results where somewhere around 30 percent gallbladder function. Lately I have been having pain in my left arm and leg. My question is can these episodes be brought on by my gallbladder or gas, or should I be worried about my heart?
