Hello, thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System, to your question, I would like to answer as follows: Chest pain is a common symptom for patients. many groups of diseases, from mild to severe, from simple to complex.
In your age group, the likelihood of chest pain due to cardiovascular disease is low and the nature of the pain is also atypical for cardiovascular disease. With the symptoms you describe, there is not enough data to make a definitive diagnosis. But there is a high chance that chest pain is caused by non-cardiac causes (intercostal neuralgia, costal cartilage, myalgia, psychological) This group of causes is usually benign.
In order to determine the exact cause, you should go to the doctor and perform other subclinical tests such as X-ray, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram...
Wish you all the best!
