Have a checkup: Chest pains or angina from a blocked artery to the heart typically occur with exertion and might be a pressure or heaviness or burning in the mid chest or radiate to the neck or shoulder or arm. Pains that occur only at rest, last only a few seconds, are worse with swallowing or twisting/ bending may not be from the heart. The best way to find out more is to have a checkup with you doctor.

Chest pain: There are many causes of chest pain, the heart is but one, intestinal gas and thoracic musculoskeletal pains are very common, anxiety and panic attacks likewise are frequent causes. You should always ask the doctors who see you what they think is the problem you came for and what to do about it.

Question too vague: Usually, a person with chest pain should see his doctor to be examined. Pains can come from a heart problem (serious!), neck or shoulder muscles, ribs and their joints, pleural lining of the lungs or ribs, the lungs themselves, etc... If one feels his pain is coming from the heart, has a chest tightness, some difficulty breathing, or has past heart disease, he can call for an ambulance, 911 in US.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor.
