Need to be evaluated: Just about all chest pain needs evaluation by a physician, but based on your age, I suspect this is musculoskeletal pain. This could be either muscular pain involving the pectoralis muscles or the junction between the ribs and cartilage called the costochondral area. In the interim, you can rest the area, apply an ice pack for 15-20 minutes 3-4x/day and take Advil or Aleve (naproxen).
