Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome on - Ask a Doctor - service!

I understand your concern and would explain that such a pain needs to be further investigated, whether it is related to physical activity, respiration or body posture.

A similar complaint could be caused by a digestive disorder, like esophageal reflux, or hiatal hernia. Pleural inflammation could be another issue to differentiate.

In addition, a cardiology check up would be required if it is not performed yet.

Anyways, your clinical symptomatology doesn't pose you to any emergent risk; so relax!

You have enough time to discuss with you doctor for further clinical investigations.

I remain at your disposal for any further discussions and a second professional opinion.

Hope to have been helpful to you!
