Stitch?: If this is a sharp pain that's worse when you inhale, does not feel like it's taking your breath away but does make breathing uncomfortable, then it's probably the familiar "texidor's twinge". If the pain proves refractory or you lose your breath or are obviously sick, get seen.

Have it evaluated: A person with chest pain needs to be evaluated and treated appropriately. Multiple possible causes may be: heart attack, esophageal reflux, anxiety, musculoskeletal, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, and aortic dissection. Have it evaluated right away to prevent potential serious complications.
