Needs to be checked: Pain in right chest on taking deep breath needs to be checked by your doctor.It may be due to some kind of inflammation in your chest wall,called costochondtitis.It can also be due to inflammation in Pleura whic is the membrane that covers the lungs.You can try Ibuprofen or Tylenol for pain.And make an appointment to see your Doctor if pain persists

Be seen: Although it would be unusual in an otherwise healthy female, anyone.with chest pain with respiration should be seen and evaluated to ensure there is not underlying cause that is potentially dangerous such as a pulmonary embolus or spontaneous pneumothorax. Again, not common, but you should consider being seen.
