Call your Dr!: I do not know your age or other important things about your history but chest pain is almost always a reason to call your regular medical doctor at least the first time to get the whole thing sorted out.

Unlikely,due to your: age.Does any movement make it worse?this would suggest a musculoskeletal origin.Pleuritic chest pain is worse with deep breaths and caused by lung irritation/pneumonia.There are many structures in the chest that can cause pain.A careful history,physical exam,and x-Rays may b required to discover the diagnosis.
