Get checked: The pain could be arising from the muscle/bone of your chest wall, or from the pleura (the membrane that surrounds the lungs). It might also be coming from your diaphragm muscle. If it persists you need to see your healthcare provider. If you feel short of breath, go now to rule out a more serious cause.

I woke up with a sore chest. No caughing or sinus. The chest pain went away after a day but moved to the back/my right shoulder blade and my arm is numb. I noticed that it is more difficult to breath and it hurts when I try to breath deep.
