Hello,
Chest pain while playing soccer can be taken as chest pain on exertion. Though you may not be getting pain while jogging or in gym, an increased intensity of exertion as in soccer game is causing chest pain.
You need to undergo the following tests:
1) ECG
2) 2D echocardiography
3) Dobutamine stress test
Please do consult a cardiologist for further evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
