Could be serious: Any pain in the chest should be taken seriously. Although you are young for heart disease, you could have a blood clot, collapsed lung, or serious lung infection. You should be seen by a doctor.

See your doctor/ PCP: Any pain that worsens with no known cause needs to be evaluated by your doctor fully. It's not normal, and the remedy may be simple. If it's only on breathing in, it could possibly be a rib out of alignment osteopathically that needs to be adjusted or realigned after neuromusculoskeletal (NMM) evaluation. If the rib is painful, it could also be costochondritis, and is treated differently. C UR Dr.
