My wife pain on top right side of chest radiating to arm. worsened by deep breathing and some movements specially when lifting shoulder, for 3 days. used pain medication and ibuprofen gel. must i rather see my doctor.

Chest pain: I assume there has been no recent injury. Since motion of the shoulder as well as a deep breath points to a chest wall strain, muscle inflammation or rib problem as a possible cause. Lung pathology would likely have associated cough. Add moist warm compresses,but if no improvement see a physician for evaluation and appropriate testing.
