Yes...: Chest pain can have many etiologies, some benign and some life-threatening. Etiologies include the ones you listed as well as others including pneumonia, blood clot in lung, malignancy and many others. If present, see a doctor asap so you can be diagnosed and then treated. Treatment depends on proper diagnosis.
