Usually not: Common cause of chest pain is costochondritis/ tietz syndrome which is an inflammation of cartilage and bone junction of the ribs with the sternal plate. This causes pain in the breast bone.

Can be: Most are due to inflammation of the cartilages connecting the ribs to the sternum (costochondritis) ... But if persists or worsens, should see md to get your heart & lung checked out ...
