Chest tightness: You are certainly on the young side to worry about your heart, but your doctor may want to do some heart testing just to be sure. If The pain is worse with certain motions, or triggered by activity, then maybe coming from your chest wall. Bottom line, this is potentially serious, and you should talk to your doctor about it. Seek emergency care if it worsens in the short term.
