I don’t really know how it’s called, but there are moments that when I feel so overwhelmed with sadness, happiness or emotions overall that I get this pressure feeling on my chest. Does it have a name? Why does it happen?

Look up “Broken heart syndrome”.
There is no known “causes” but it is theorized that it comes from a combination of stress, coupled with a surge of hormones.
If this is ongoing, it can often be linked with endogenous depression. It helps to talk to a counselor to see if there are any consistent triggers that induce it (like a song or a familiar situation, etc.) It may also be helpful to see if medication is warranted.
Good luck to you
