Probably is: what you're describing sounds like pain in the muscles around the ribs in the wall of your chest. If however you are having shortness of breath, sweating, pain in your arm, nausea you should be seen immediately for evaluation. Might also be pain from esophageal reflux or spasm. Best to see your doctor for evaluation. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck. Dr. R
