Hi. I can understand your concern.
If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get a chest x ray done to rule out any lung infection .Ideally ecg and 2d echo should be done first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
