i completely understand your question
actually heaviness in chest can be due to variety of causes like pleural effusion , gastritis , gerd , and cardiac causes .
you need to visit a pulmonologist who can request for a chest xray and ecg to evaluate the cause and lead to a certain diagnosis
cardiac diseases are rare in a young age so dont panic
thanks
