Get it checked out.: Most chest pain in young people is not cardiac related, but only after an exam and possible EKG and blood work can that be confirmed.  If you are still having pain, please go to Urgent Care now.  If pain has passed, make an appointment with your doctor to have your lipids checked.  Most heart attacks in people under 50 are related to elevated blood lipids.

Accepted Answer

Chest Pain: impossible to tell if this was a cardiac event without testing. You don't tell us what age you are, or what medical conditions you have. This is certainly something that needs to be taken seriously and evaluated with blood testing, EKG and other possible tests. You should be seen no later than in the morning.
