These two days I experienced a pain - you can say muscle, joint pain on the left part of my chest, almost the shoulder part. I have never experienced this before. But, these days I've been jogging on the treadmill for half an hour at a considerably high speed and also push up.
Is it what caused the pain? What should I do? The pain is like on- and - off. Esp after I did some exercise that pain comes back.

You definitely should not do pushups for the next week. Your muscles obviously have been overused. I do recommend you see your medical doctor As soon as possible and get a checkup to make sure it's nothing serious. it's better to be safe then sorry.
Take a Warm bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.
Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles.
Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. One tip for athletes: it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk during competition or active training periods.
500mg of calcium and magnesium, taken twice daily, can help with diminishing the pain.

because there was a sudden lifestyle change (jogging these days as you have said), chances are it's muscle and/or cardiac related, but could be more in the latter since its more on the chest part. consult your heart doctor. shuldn't this be an SOP before doing new things like this?...

Call your doctor ASAP. It could very well be muscular and it may also be cardiac related. Angina causes such pain and is brought on by exercise. Regardless of you age - no one should tell you you are too young. As an EMT I have seen many "young" people with no cardiac history have a cardiac event.

I'm 50, and whilst that occurs my wellbeing consultant has me take Ibuprofen (my prescription discomfort killer may not even paintings reason it is an extra form of discomfort) & observe progesterone cream (in an extra spot whenever) from the wellbeing meals retailer as soon as an afternoon till my waft stops. The ibuprofen stops the discomfort, the progesterone fixes the obstacle for the following time round, for me a minimum of.

Sounds as if you pulled or torn a muscle doing the push-ups. Give up the push-ups for a few days.
