Chest Pain (GERD or a heart issue)

It sounds to me like it might be something related more to the transverse colon. Assuming you have no bleeding, no tears, no tumours, you might have periodic inflammation of the upper bowel. I also assume that you have no ischemia or arrhythmia, so it's not your heart.
If I were you, I would make it simple, by pre-arrangement, to go to an imaging facility and next time you are having a bout of 'whatever it is', get yourself to that facility and get imaged, almost certainly with an MRI.
With that, I'm tapped out...sorry.

Sometimes I’ve wondered if it’s my transverse colon too, and I’ve had symptoms in that area like fullness and a pain at times.
There was a time last summer and a couple times in October, when I noticed what looked like blood in my stool. It wasn’t on the toilet paper when I wiped, but it was like a streak of blood on the stool. It wasn’t bright red, but it wasn’t dark red either.
