The symptoms you are describing are unlikely to be heart related. It's probably some type of musculoskeletal pain. Heart disease is very unlikely in someone your age. I would try taking some ibuprofen or tylenol to see if it helps. Of course, the most important thing about CAD is prevention. So quiting smoking if you do, making sure your cholesterol and blood pressure are well controlled, exercising and being in shape should be the focus of your attention.
