Hi and welcome to the Board!
Relaxing is a good idea! Are you on any medication? Many times anxiety will manifest itself in physical pains. And many people do describe them as what they think a heart attack may be like! Being a nursing student is a plus/minus right now as in "a little knowledge is dangerous" :-). I'm sure part of your interest in nursing stems from your interest in the goings-on in your own body. Having it checked out by your physician is a good, calming first step. Although you have medical knowledge, you don't always want to diagnose yourself!
Nursing school is very stressful, but as a nurse recruiter for my company I will say THANK YOU for wanting to go into this challenging and very rewarding field! Hang in there and realize you're going to be stressed for a couple of years and then it will ease up. Keep the end goal in sight!!!
