Heartburn is the back flow of stomach contents, including digestive juices, into the esophagus or food tube. Your chest tightness and pain could be caused by esophageal spasm from heartburn. Please check with your doctor about this possibility. By controlling the heartburn with medicine your problems may stop.
It is also possible that there is some other problem causing your chest tightness and pain. Your doctor may recommend a chest x-ray to begin to identify what else might be the cause.
