Need more info: To really give a helpful answer much more information is needed; however I am always concerned when someone complains of chest pain, so wanted to respond. Most concerning chest pain or pressure often comes on with exercise, and can move to your jaw or arm, and be associated with shortness of breath, sweating, nausea. If so, be seen immediately. Otherwise, plan to see someone to discuss you problem.

See a doctor: Chest discomfort can be due to a number of reasons, including heart problems (heart attack, pericarditis), lung problems (bronchitis, pneumonia), muscle strain, reflux, among others. It is best to see a physician for further evaluation. It is difficult to assess in this forum based on the information provided. If you have risk factors for heart disease, urgent evaluation is warranted.
