During workout i started feeling a pinch in the left side of chest.not pain just a pinch when i do specific moves. should i worry for heart disease?

Not likely: If a certain movement consistently elicits the 'pinch', it is most likely muscular. Besides smoking, do you have any other cardiac risks or history ?

Dont worry Be Happy: If you can point to the area of the chest pain with one finger as you are describing, you most likely do NOT have pain originating from the heart. Cardiac pain is diffuse and is associated with nausea, vomiting, feeling light headed, sweating, fatigue and anxiety. You will likely have shortness of breath with exertion or even at rest. Keep exercising! Have fun.
