I'm 30 and lately, I've been experiencing this weird sinking feeling in my chest, almost like a jump-sinking sensation. It just pops up randomly, any time of the day, and can last for a while. It's got me feeling uneasy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone help me figure this out?

I'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?

Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly
