Brief Answer:
Go to ER

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You need to be investigated for Coronary Artery Disease… even though it is not common in women during the fertile period.
You need an ECG & Enzyme studies to rule out….
In suspected heart attack, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE – if detected early, an attack may even be aborted / the amount of damage and complications can be reduced remarkably. The most important time is the first few hours.

Generally pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, relieved by rest, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on… but it may be variable…

You SHOULD SEE YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...
Better be safe than sorry - treated if a problem is found / Happy, if it turns out otherwise

Take care     
God bless
