Chest pain: Chest pain should always be taken seriously. At your age, it is less likely that you are having a heart attack. Your chest pain could be related to anxiety. However, chest pain should always be discussed with your healthcare provider. If you have severe pain that doesn't subside, I would recommend going to an urgent care or ER to get a cardiac workup especially if you have cardiac risk factors.

Emergency: Although chest pressure can be due to anxiety best to activate your emergency medical response team to get you checked out at the emergency room. Life threatening issues need to be ruled out based on what you've described.
