Go to see your MD: Go to see md to get checked. It could be from something like pleurisy/irritation to your pleura ( outside lining of your lung) vs, muskuloskeletal related- however if you have other symptoms, bronchitis/pneumonia, blood clot etc. Should be also ruled out. Take some nsaids to help the pain and go to see your md to get checked.
