I’m having this persistent chest pain, a kind of deep dull pain in the center of my chest

I’m also experiencing a lot of heartburn when I lay down to sleep and the pain in my chest feels stronger.
I’m not sure if it’s muscle strain from my new job or something else.

Are you feeling subconsciously worried or anxious over anything? Sometimes panic or anxiety can mimic heart attack and chest pain or tightness. If you think you are completely calm, I'd see an urgent care doctor soon. There are plans and you don't want it to get to a full fledged heart attack, when it might be prevented now. I'd take an aspirin too, people are told in an actual heart event to take one because it thins the blood a small amount .
