Depends...: Unless you have a known heart condition, or you are experiencing shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, or other significant diseases this is most likely related to muscular type of pain esp. at your age.If pain worsens with movement, breathing, coughing, etc it is most likely that. You can take anti inflammatory meds( for ex.ibuprofen if not allergic), but if symptoms are severe get evaluated.
