Hi there. It does sound much like an indigestion type of pain as this can be felt in the back as well as the front. Heartburn usually is felt at the back of your throat and down between your boobs, and feels like a burning sensation when you burp. Heart pain for real isnt usually a sharp pain but more like a heavy crushing feeling.

Try not to worry too much. When we havent actually experienced a heart attack we only have a vague idea of what the pain must be like. I think you would know it if it was happening!

Hope this helps

It sounds like indegestion to me, have you experienced this before and if you have were you ok?. Try to think more positive and realistically about what it could be. With health anxiety we try to jump for the negative within the first second making the physical symptoms worse. Try a big burp, some gaviscon or try to distract yourself for a while all the time thinking for a more positive explanation of what it could be.

Hope this helps

This sounds very much like indigestion. Try Gaviscon or something similar and don't eat before going to bed.
