Get checked out: It's always important to check out causes for chest pain, especially if it happens when you exercise. At your age, actual heart disease is unlikely but certainly not impossible. Get to the bottom of it so you can stop worrying about it and exercise without pain or fear.

Depends on age: If you are an adolescent or young adult with a healthy past history, these are probably benign symptoms. If you are older or sickly, they be more significant. See your doctor to elucidate the causes of your concerns.
