Talk to PCP: The causes of pain you described are usually from acid reflux, muscle pain, costocondritis and rarely from GB stone. As the information is incomplete and as you are young this is unlikely from heart or lung origin. Try anti-acid and anti-inflammatory measures. If ineffective talk to your PCP.
