Hi Soldier boy,
The best way to determine if chest pain/burning is serious or related to stress or depression is to have a medical exam. I hope you have access to a physician while you are in Afghanistan. Here is a link on Chest Pain as well as a link on Heart Attack Symptoms for you to review.
Best Regards,
