Chest pain can often be caused by gas/indigestion affecting the diaphram.
When you are hungry, you may swallow air, which will make this worse.
Have something to eat and if the indigestion continues, try some of your favorite remedy for gas/wind/indigestion.
An empty stomach may also cramp, forcing some stomach acid into the oesophaegus. This can feel like a hot, burning sensation (heartburn). Again, something to eat should relieve this, or often a small glass of milk will help.

Indigestion is a common factor in having a chest discomfort after eating. You don';t say whethet this pain is experienced after sport or before. The problem lies with you pyloric sphincter. This is the opening at the top of the stomach that allows food to pass in to the stomach for digestion. If this is in any way scarred or has some nerve involvement then you will experience this pain. Sometimes it is a simple matter of avoiding certain acidic foods. I don''t suggest you take antacid tablets without medical advice as this approach can be dangerous to your health. You need to consult with a doctor about both the problem and why antacid may not be the best approach. To have this checked out a diagnostic dye is swallowed and then xrayed. The reasons for your problem will be easily seen and a course of treatment will be advised in a much more informed manner than what you may receive from asking questions on a forum such as this.

Holy cow, me, too! I was just wondering about it today... I was kinda freaked out about it for a while. I hope you get some answers. I'm 25, most likely too young for most major problems, right?
