Oh my goodness! I'm so glad you found out what was going on. Like I mentioned in my earlier post, it did sound to me like possible heart symptoms. I take it your female because of your user name. Women do not always have "common" heart symptoms. I had a heart attack 3 months ago and I thought I just might be getting a sore throat or virus. Well, I let it go for 3 days days until it got worse and it was also intermittent. My sister had all the common symptoms, unlike me, but it was intermittent and that raised a red flag for me to get to the hospital. So, I spent 3 days in the hospital and got 1 stent. Yes! Anyone that is having strange symptoms please go to the hospital, or at the very least, call your Dr because it can save your life. I really am glad to hear your doing so well. Thanks for getting back to us.

Go to doctor to have this checked as any pressure or tightness of the chest needs investigating, it could be indigestion or acid reflux but i would certainly get this checked immediatley.

It's so hard to say what might be going on. There's a possibility that it may be GERD. Can you say what your age is? I'm asking because your having some heart symptoms. I am not saying it is your heart, just some possible symptoms. Does this happen after eating certain foods? Are you under a lot of stress?The more you tell us the better we can help.
