[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more but better to rule out pleuritic pain first. You are having chest pain associated with breathing. This is characteristic feature of pleuritic pain. Most common cause for this is lung infection. So first get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pleurisy. Musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
