Hi,
Chest pain due to cardiac cause is diffused & has no effect of respiration. It increase on exertion & stress and decrease after rest.
Considering your risk factors like like Diabetes & obesity, I'll recommend you for a ECG & cardiac enzymes. If that is normal you should do a stress test to rule out future risk of heart disease.
Thanks
