Hello

As a health professional, ANY chest pain is considered a "red flag" in our minds. I highly suggest that you go get this checked out as soon as possible. Even though you are rather young, it isn't unheard of for you to have cardiac difficulties at 30 years of age. It could be something that you have had for a long time and has just started to show itself, or it could be minor, such as muscular. However, to be on the safe side, if it were ME, I would be checking it out.

Hope this helps and good luck
