Hi,
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
Pain in chest can have a lot of causes.
Chest pain due to heart disease is non localized, squeezing type & increase on exertion. Still you need to do a ECG & 2D Echo for cardiac evaluation.
Chest pain at your age can be simple muscle pain or costochondritis(inflammation of joint between bone & cartilage of chest wall). Both are treated with pain killer. Tab Ultraset will be safe & good for you. Still get a X Ray done to rule out any chest abnormalities.
Thanks
