What Causes Discomfort At The Base Of Sternum?

I have had what feels like indigestion for a couple of days now. Discomfort at the base of the sternum as well as soreness in my right shoulder. I did not drink any coffee this morning and that has made the discomfort subside however, I still feel the discomfort like a dull pain. Could this be the early symptoms of a heart attach?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is not the symptoms of heart attack but it could be due to some nonspecific condition but at the most it could be due to hyperacidity, to rule out the possibility of heart disease better to get done the EKG hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
