Hi Miss. Mikey,
Chest pain may occur due to many reasons, most emergent one is due to cardiac origin. We should rule out angina first. To rule out cardiac reason, you should look for few questions:
1. Is pain associated to exertion?
2. Is pain gets relieved after taking rest?
3. Does pain gets aggravated with chest compression?
4. To rule out cardiac pain, get an ECG, X-Ray chest, and Echocardiography done.
I shall suggest you to get it properly evaluated and not to takemedicines randomly.
