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?

Most of the answers you were given so far overlooked what you said about happiness or sadness, nothing to do with pain. Just a natural response telling you that your a compassionate person.
I may be talking nonsense here but that’s what I feel when I’m moved bye a birth of a baby or the death of someone close.
