Be seen: I would encourage you to be seen. There are many potential causes from very benign to more serious including: an irritation of a nerve in the spine, a pulmonary problem (pneumonia, pleurisy, PE), a GI problem (gallstones, liver or pancreas problem), etc. an exam and studies can usually determine the cause.
