Probably nothing: At age 21 if you (or your doctor) think that chest pain is not cardiac and possible musculoskeletal, a trial of non steroidal (ibuprofen/ naproxan/ etc) may be all you need. If there is suspicion it is cardiac, a stress test may be in order. Cardiac chest pain is quite unlikely at your age.
