Chest wall pain? : Pain around the heart that is connected to movement in a healthy young individual usually means that there is a strain within the chest wall. This may involve the ribs and/or muscles. If it is not getting better after 7-10 days it is best to get checked.

Need checked: Your young age should be reassuring. However, there are rare cases of actual heart disease diagnosed in seemingly healthy persons including cases in professional athletes. It is important to get checked by your family doc.
