is this a sign of angina?

 Typically, 20 would be a bit young to start having angina; however, your symptoms that you describe are consistent with angina and given your family history of early heart disease it is certainly possible.
I would recommend that you see your doctor for an evaluation. It is certainly possible that this is not angina but best to be sure. Your doctor may want to check your fasting cholesterol panel, and possibly do an EKG or stress test to see if you develop any of the pain or have any heart rhythm changes indicative of heart trouble.
Best wishes.
