You are taking anti psychotic treatment. I don't know if it affects your sense of judgement. You are describing the pain as being "more towards the side than being in front" .
I think it is better to have an X ray chest. If that is not contributory , please go for CT Scan.
First we get the diagnosis.
The treatment will follow.
