20? : If you're really 20, you can be pretty certain that the pain was muscular and not your heart. If the pain persists with a deep breath or if you're short of breath after resting, you should go to the er to be sure it isn't a sponaneous pneumothorax, a rare but more serious issue of your lungs.
