Default Pectoralis Minor Syndrome and "heart" pain.

While looking for answers to my chest pain I came across this syndrome. I understand it, but have a couple of questions.

If you have never heard of it I took the liberty of copying it from the website I was on.
--
Pectoralis Minor (PecMinor) Syndrome - compression of the brachial plexus between the coracoid process the contracted Pectoralis Minor Muscle.

Now the question I have is : I read that the pain goes from the collar bone down. But can it reach to where the heart would be sitting?
I get this type of pain in addition to the shoulder, arm, neck, and shoulder blade pain. I am pretty sure this is whats going on with me, although let me tell you the chest pain is a very, very scary thing!! It feels as though I am having a heart attack or some other catastrophe with my heart.

Also, if anyone is as lucky as I am to suffer with this type of pain in the heart area (sarcasm) then what do you do to help relieve it? Is surgery available to people who suffer from PecMinor Syndrome?

Can this,, or TOS, also cause heart skips?

BTW, I am SO glad I found this site! I was starting to feel all alone until I found you guys lol! I know none of you are doctors, but I was just looking for some answers and support.
