Pain : You may have a pleurisy or inflammation of the covering of the lungs. With pain that is unremitting I think you should see a physician and get a definitive diagnosis

Be seen: Many potential causes, I would encourage you to be seen for a specific diagnosis. Potential causes could include a thoracic radiculopathy from a pinched nerve in the spine to pleurisy, pancreatitis, costochondritis, among many other possibilities.
