Unlikely in you: Unless you have strong family history unlikely in 31 year old woman. It is hard to distinguish between anxiety and real chest pin at times. If your doctor is in doubt he can do a stress test.

Cardiac damage: The pain often feels the same, but with a myocardial infarction or heart attack, there is damage to your heart seen by an ekg, echocardiogram, or lab tests.
