These symptoms correspond to angina (pain due to narrowing of blood vessels of Heart) most probably, however it may also be due to some minor Muscle ache in chest wall muscles also
I would advise you to undergo treadmill stress test, lipid profile, BP check to see if it is due to heart problem.
If Treadmill test comes positive then life long Asprin and angioplasty is usually recommended
You must visit a cardiologist soon
