Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sexual activity is considered as heavy exertion.
So you are having chest pain with such heavy exertion. Your pain subside with once sexual activity is over.
So we should definitely rule out heart diseases in your case because heart diseases commonly cause chest pain on exertion.
So get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg and 2d echo.
You may need cardiac supportive drugs.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
