Pain: Need to rule out physical causes before concluding it is anxiety. Have checkup by your family doctor.

Not typically: At age 31, it would be unusual to have heart disease. It would be more unsual to have 2 days of chest pain from heart disease and not have something else develop. Please, discuss with your doctor who may do ekg and tests and offer anxiolytic.
