In the absence of any other heart-related symptoms it seems unlikely to me that the pain is from your heart.

Of course, I know very little from your post.  If you have any reason to suspect your heart a visit to the doctor would be a good safeguard.

Thanks for your commit.The pain is in the center of my chest no where else. It comes on without warning i don;t have to be doing anything for it to come on.

I think you should be concerned, but, can you relate the pain to anything else during the day, such as: eating, emotion/stress, other?  If so, that may be the problem, you pain is just a reaction.  

You didn't say where the pain is: chest, arm(s), leg(s), back,...  

If the pains continue and you can't associate it with some unwanted stimulus, it should be checked by your doctor.
