24 y/o M c CP: This is not an uncommon compliant encountered by doctors and most turn out to be benign. If symptoms are severe, not subsiding, progressing, associated with other symptoms such as shortness of breath, it merits emergency room visit to rule out serious conditions such as such as ruptured lung and pressure build up around the heart.
