What Causes Slight Pain In Chest?

Hi I am 31 year old and having slight chest pain at my right side. There is no sweating, not feeling anything strange at my body or heart beat or at breathing. For last 15 days this pain occurs randomly and not able to justify when it is coming. This pain is not sustained but some times if I press with hand also I could feel it. Please let me know what should I do now?
