iT COULD BE MANY THINGS. To be safe, go see your primary doctor and get them to rule out dangerous conditions
Pain in this area could be muscular or cardiac, or stomach related as acid reflex. I need to know your age, sex, what kind of pain, how long it usually lasts, if it happened during rest or during activity, what kind of job you do. You really need a diagnosis, please see your PCP as soon as you can.
Hello,

There are many things that could be contributing to the pain and discomfort you are feeling. However, more information is needed. You would benefit from an evaluation by a skilled physical therapist for a full assessment.
Thoracic sprain/rhomboidis tightness could be a reason.
There are many issues...herniated disc, muscles strain, facet impingement or sprain, etc. It's best to see a physical therapist for a proper evaluation and proper treatment.
Please reach out and get a physical therapy evaluation. There are too many possibilities. I promise that you won't be disappointed.
It's very difficult to answer your question without evaluating you, I'm sorry. Look for a manual therapist who is comfortable treating the spine, and especially one that is certified in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) also referred to often as McKenzie treatment. He or she can help to focus on posture and movement which reduce your symptoms regardless of the exact structures involved. Hope that helps!
