Possible pleuritis: If you have any difficulty breathing, continued chest pain or fluttering of your heart beat, please see the ED right away. Motrin and a heating pad may be useful in treating musculo skeletal chest wall pain. A virtual inbox consultation may be useful in providing more information to you and your physcian
