My chest is home to my apocalypse

Well, I don't spaz (much), I've never 'gerd'ed (whatever that is), and I suspect my esophagus is in fine form. I could be wildly wrong, though.

It's not indigestion. And carpal tunnel of the chest? I'm not sure how THAT could happen.

How long has this been going on? Has it been pretty much at the same rate as when it started, or has it been getting more often per day?

Do you notice any sweating? Same time or different times?

Any shortness of breath?

Any nausea? Change in stool? Pain in other areas of your body?

I'm 32.
Coffee, roughly two-three cups a day. No coke or fizzy drinks of any kind.

It went on for a couple of months two years ago, then 'went away'. A couple of months ago it came back, only less painful.

No sweating.

Breathing's fine.

No nausea. And my poo-poo is just fine (although I'd rather not get close enough to ask).

Other pain; just a little right-shoulder pain from using mouse-keyboard too much in the course of my work.
