hi,
Chest pain around the heart that's precordial region can arise from heart, esophagus,ribs, intercostal muscles etc
it has to be evaluated if pain increase on exertion or any activity relieved on taking rest ?if any of the family member had heart problems or sudden death ?
other common causes of chest pain GERD or reflux esophagitis , Gastric ulcer ,costochondritis has to ruled out.
