Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note; sudden feeling of pressure,squeezing,tightness,or crushing under your breastbone and chest pain that spread to your jaw,left arm or back and sudden sharp chest pain with shortness of breath may indicate a serious cardiac problem.
