Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Are you having exercises in gym ? Was there some extreme weight lifting exercise undertaken by you before about 4 months ? In all probability you are having myalgia chest which may be due to muscle fibre injury which has not healed till now. Your anxiety about the cause and concern for treatment is compounding your perception of pain. Leave it for the time being if the pain is tolerable. See if the pain is related with a particular posture or movement then avoid it. It should disappear over time in next few weeks.
