Brief Answer:
unlikely at your age
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned about chest pain but a heart attack is very uncommon at your age unless you have a history of significant heart disease or a significant family history of heart disease.
Also a heart attack means that the blood supply to a part of the heart is cut off, that part is getting blood. For that to persist for the whole day and you are in need of a hospital setting is unlikely.
An entire day of no blood to an aspect of the heart would require assessment. There is usually shortness of breath, a change in blood pressure, dizziness.
The pain is usually a feeling of tightness or pressure on the chest
Anxiety can cause an increase in heart rate.
Based on your age (if there is no significant personal or family history), absence of other symptoms and the length of time--- a heart attack is unlikely but you can consider seeing your doctor for an assessment if you are still concerned.
I hope this helps , feel free to ask any other questions
