Rib pain: Pain in chest associated with activity or shortness of breath should be evaluated immediately. Pain with motion like yawning is usually muscular and will resolve with rest and time

Seek evaluation: When chest pain occurs it is sometimes difficult to know for sure if it is related to the heart, to the muscles around it, like within your rib cage, or something in the gastrointestinal system, like heart burn. Even though you are young, it sounds like something that should be evaluated soon with an exam. Best of luck!
