Hi, any pain is serious, as it can cause the shock. The cause could be gastric irritation could be due to ulcer, irritant foods, chest infection, or cardiac ischemia.  I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have E.C.G, X-ray chest, gastrostomy etc. for confirmation.  Thank you.
