I have had that sensation and it was gas. Zantac helped, along with a better diet.

He sat three arm-lengths away from me and caught my condition right away. It was "high costal breathing" - and I'd never told anyone about the sting in the chest. It comes of tension, oxygen-deprived respiratory mucles. The only way to break it, is to get your ribcage (which is flexible) a bit in motion with shoulder-rolls and arm-swings and all, to get range of motion in your respiratory mucles again.
It is much more common than anyone thinks. We can all have that sort of pain, but for some it becomes a vicious cycle of breathing even more shallow and with the upper respiratory muscles. Lay down on the floor next time you have it - place one hand on your stomach and one at your chest and breathe in such a way that both hands rise. It will most likely help on the sting. Then you can loosen the sting with deep breaths and range of motion.
I hope this is helpful!
