Retrostenal pain refers to pain that is in the middle of the front of the chest. Since both the heart and esophagus are in this area, the pain is often associated with acid reflux and called heartburn, but usually has nothing to do with the heart. If you are also experiencing breathing difficulties, sweating, of radiating pain, then you may be having a heart attack. In any case, if you are concerned, call 911.
