Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this chest pain. Pain that starts during exercise an relieved be resting is concerning. I will suggest that you get consulted and fully evaluated t make sure that there is nothing concerning especially with the heart. Findings would help plan for further investigations and management. I will recommend that you start with your primary care physician.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
