Hello and thanks for writing.
I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Having chest pain with palpitations is not a normal thing. It may be due to cardiac condition or anxiety disorder or thyroid problems or hypertension.
I advise you to consult a cardiologist and undergo a few tests like an ECG, 2D echo and others to get to a diagnosis. In the mean time avoid over exercising yourself and do not take any stress.
