Could be...: ....Something as simple as muscle strain, or a virus, or some other infection beginning, or anxiety. Without more information it's impossible to tell. However, if it persists or worsens, seeing your doctor for an evaluation is a good idea.

Chest discomfort: There are several organs in the chest which could be causing your sensation of heaviness. In 24 year old, the cause is likely something not dangerous. If it continues you need to see a doctor for clinical evaluation.
