Chest pains: Your symptoms require more description. Since your symptoms are persisting,you should see a physician who will take a thorough history, perform a physical examination and order appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis. Symptoms could be from rib cage inflammation, lung, heart or cardiac origin.
