Morphology
The meaning 'discomfort or pain in the chest' is directly and compositionally derived from the constituents 'chest' (upper body region) and 'pain' (sensation of hurt). This is a literal, medically common compound—cross-linguistically transparent—so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the term.
Etymology
Chest pain comes from a simple, literal image: pain felt in the chest area where the heart and lungs are. So the two words chest and pain together mean 'discomfort in the chest' and often show a possible serious health problem.
