sometimes caffeine can cause the symptoms you have just described. and it will go on undetected and without warning. what happens is the caffeine causes your blood veins to dialate then when the caffeine wears off they constrict, causing pectoralis angina, or chest pains. sometimes you may feel a fluttering in your chest or something like that. or like adduncan said it may not be your heart just your chest region. you may have some sort of lung infection or maybe a collapsed sac in your lung. look into that. it happens a lot to smokers or people around a lot of smoke. but it never hurts to have a second third or forth opinion, if you think something is wrong, get it checked out.
