Likely from muscle : Strain, rib pain, pleurisy/inflamed lining of the lung from a viral infection, bronchitis etc. Motrin or aleve (naproxen) may help.Go see your dr to be sure it's not the heart. Take care!

See a doctor: Get this area carefully examined and you may need imaging studies performed. Do this soon.
