Common risk factors for coronary artery disease are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, a family history of coronary disease in young relatives, obesity, and male gender. Typically, patients with coronary disease develop chest pain with a reproducible amount of exertion and can relieve they symptoms with rest. Also, I think you should see a physician to discuss your symptoms and possibly get a stress test to look into coronary disease as a cause of your chest pain. If you develop chest pain that lasts for more than 10-15 minutes and doesn't relent, you should call for emergency medical assistance or go to your nearest hospital immediately.
