I have been having what I consider chest "annoyances" for about the last week. I can't tell if they are heart related or muscle related. I am 27 years old and its not like I am grossly overweight. I could probably lose a couple pounds but thats about it. I did have a stress test about three months ago and passed with no problems. Heart disease does run in my family which is why I had the stress test in the first place. The pain gets worse when I move my move my chest in certain ways. Anybody have any ideas of what this could be?

You need to go see a Physician for your problem, never wait and try to figure it out yourself! Here are some things though that you could consider! I would still however go see a Physician!
There are many causes of chest pain. One is angina which results from inadequate oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Angina can be caused by coronary artery disease or spasm of the coronary arteries. Chest pain can also be due to a heart attack (coronary occlusion) and other important diseases. Do not try to ignore chest pain and "work (or play) though it." Chest pain is a warning to seek medical attention.

Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. My experience has been that muscular pain can mimmick heart pain when they are both in the same area. I believe this is muscular because you said it gets worse when you move in certain ways. Take advil for the muscles. When you are worried that it might be "chest pain" check your pulse. If it is strong and regular and you have no other symptoms you should be fine. If the pain continues, I'd see your doctor just to be sure and for expert advice on what to watch for.

The only true way to tell If you are having a heart attack or related issues is to see a physician. You should never second quess yourself when you are having pains in your chest. Go to the ER asap!
