Could be. I would go to uptodate.com and read all about causes of chest pain. Then keep a diary and share with your drs. Angina is chest pain that comes on with exercise And stops soon after stopping exercise. At your age usually due to rusty arteries in heart due to genes, blood pressure and diet.
