: Such sharp right sided chest pain unaffected by a deep breath, with no shortness of breath or cough doesn't appear to be of cardiac or lung origin. I suspect a rib cage cause such as muscle spasm. At this time I would merely observe and look for continued improvement of chest,shoulder discomfort. See your physician as needed.
