A heart attack is an acute condition where you have a blood clot in the arteries that supply the heart with blood.

It would be almost impossible for a 30 y/o healthy, active male to develop clogged arteries to the heart, causing angina pain.

You should (of course) see a doctor to evaluate your chest pain, but your description is classic for muscular (chest wall) pain, which has nothing to do with your heart at all.

If your pain doesn't get worse when exercising, it's almost never heart related.
