Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. The most common cause of isolated chest pain is often caused by problems with the soft tissues. This is often referred to as costochondritis. I will recommend you take Ibuprofen at doses recommended by your pharmacist. If this pain fails to resolve within 48hours or some new symptoms set in, please update me for further review and we would act accordingly.
I hope this helps. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask more questions and we would gladly address them.

ok, thank you. But just one extra question. Last night when I had dinner it was like I suddenly got hurt in my right shoulder blade and into the upper arm. And I actually forgot to tell that it hurts the most in the chest when I breathe or should stand up from a chair / sofa. Does that sound like something dangerous or should I still do as you suggested before?
Brief Answer:
Same plan as suggested earlier!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This pain is more mechanical and suggest a tear in a soft tissue. Most are controlled with pain medications alone. If anything new comes up, please report to me.
I wish you well.
