I was caught in a riptide yesterday and inhaled lots of water, an hour or two later my chest hurt and today my throat hurts as well as my chest.

Ingestion of water.: If looks like you have probably been waiting at least a couple days since you inquired. If you are still having chest pain (that is sigificant) and/ or difficulty breathing - then it would be worth getting evaluated. Salt water from ocean can contains lots of different organisms.
