Chest Spasm/Pain

Yesterday at the gym, my chest started to hurt after about 20 minutes of cardio. (It hurts at about the area where you put your hand over your heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.) It didn't hurt enough for me to stop my cardio, but it was still uncomfortable and makes me a little worried. I went to the gym again later on in the day and the same thing happened after about 20 minutes into cardio. However, as soon as I finish the pain stops.

Does anyone know what this could be? I've been going to the gym everyday for almost 6 weeks now and my cardio routine hasn't changed drastically, so I'm wondering where this pain is coming from? Maybe I'm over exerting myself?

If it helps, I'm 21, 5 ft. 3 in, and 167 pounds. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm seeing my doctor next week for a physical so I'll ask about it then but if anyone can give me a little piece of mind now, that would be great! I'm just nervous to work out now. :(
 
I'd say to hold off doing anything until you get clearance from your doctor...

It could be anything.. which could be something or absolutely nothing.

Do write down exactly how you felt and what you were doing so you won't forget to bring it up with the doctor.. (a lot of people suffer from white coat amnesia... )
