an ulcer has now been found to be caused by a bacterial infection that can be cured with antibiotics where at one time it was thought to be caused by stress or a poor diet as for the pain aspect I can not say for sure having never had an ulcer hope that helps you in some way .

as for the burning in the upper chest it sounds like you might be having some acid reflux which is caused by acid in the stomach coming up in the esophagus which could be consistent with a stomach ulcer

Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the inside lining of your stomach, upper small intestine or esophagus. The most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is pain.

Not long ago, the common belief was that peptic ulcers were a result of lifestyle. Doctors now know that a bacterial infection or medications — not stress or diet — cause most ulcers of the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenum). Esophageal ulcers may also occur and are typically associated with the reflux of stomach acid.

Depending on their location, ulcers have different names:

Gastric ulcer. This is a peptic ulcer that occurs in your stomach.
Duodenal ulcer. This type of peptic ulcer develops in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Esophageal ulcer. An esophageal ulcer is usually located in the lower section of your esophagus. It's often associated with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Peptic ulcers are common. The good news is that oftentimes successful treatment of ulcers takes just a few weeks.

The nerves from the stomach can and will closely relate to one another, a heart attack or ulcers (reflux) you need a doctor to separate the two but I wouldn't get too excited. Not right now.

You age, your general health condition etc, all comes into bearing.
See if something like Tums will stop the pains or soften them. Consult your physician asap though.

If you're definite, you larger see a legitimate Doctor. Medicines don't quit, the difference of medicinal drugs could also be wanted, or the alternative first made could had been on extraordinary grounds.
