Be seen: Although it would be unusual in an otherwise healthy female, anyone.with chest pain with respiration should be seen and evaluated to ensure there is not underlying cause that is potentially dangerous such as a pulmonary embolus or spontaneous pneumothorax. Sgain, not common, but you should consider being seen.
