Lynette - I get chest pain - it is usually from being a certain position or when raising my arms/hands up for the keyboard, etc. I really believe it is related to the disk. I did have heart diagnostic exams back 2005 when I was in severe chest/arm pain - it was clear - I should have had an MRI on my neck - as I think that was the true cause of my problems back then. I have spoken to many folks with herniated disks in their neck and they have said the same thing about experiencing chest pains.
Anxiety too plays a great role in this.
