Dear Lybrate user,
given your age and reports, you need not worry much. Dietary modifications along with life style modification may be required. The pain could be muscular in origin. Costochondritis (cartilage inflammation over chest area) can mimic heart conditions. Even gastric conditions give rise to chest pain. If the pain doesn't resolve spontaneously, kindly get the following tests done: 1. Lipid profile
2. Serum homocysteine.
