My sense is that these nonexertional chest pains lasting a few minutes are not of heart or lung origin but probably have a rib cage cause. Increased discomfort with a deep breath or other motion can be a clue. Associated rib cage tenderness can be diagnostic. Another possibility is irritability of an intercostal muscle or nerve that runs between 2 ribs. A physician can examine & advise you.?x-ray
