When only slightly exerting myself i felt a brief pressure in my chest and left shoulder. it only lasted a few seconds. should i be worried?

Cardiac pain ?: In your age group, it is more likely a musculoskeletal problem. To be safe, present to your PCP if persists. Do you have a family history of heart disease before age 40?If so, this must be assumed to be cardiac until it is ruled out.
