Pain in your chest is a symptom of having a heart attack or just pain in your chest. You can also have pain in your chest which is symptomatic of a heart condition without being a heart attack and yet still serious such as Angina.
The advice is that any of these symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency because people aren't great and knowing the difference. Especially if you're older, unfit or have a history of heart problems.
