Chest pain: Your description of the symptoms and how they are affected by certain maneuvers, seem to pinpoint the rib cage as the location of symptoms. Strain, inflammation, recent trauma, pinching of intercostal nerves which run between the ribs are possible causes. If you can, try taking anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen for a few days. If not improving, see your MD for evaluation.
