chest painand shortness of breath

I have chest pain Im 170 lbs. 5'11 and 18 years old. I dont get much excercise and eat alot of unhealthy food. Am I overweight? and whats likely cause of my chest pain? do i have heartburn or heart problems?

Note: This is a mild pain, the shortness of breath bothers me 3 times more than chest pain.
