What Is The Reason For Pain In The Right Side Chest Above Chest When Belched ?

Thanks for your query.
Pain in the chest in a young female above the right breast & shoulder with history of lifting heavy weight suggest some muscular pull or sprain of neck muscles.
Such pain can also be due to minor nerve compression in the cervical region, as there is history of lifting weights.
As pain is not accompanied with any other discomfort like tachycardia, dyspnea, tachypnea, it suggests minor injury or trauma of muscular in origin in the neck.
Pain is of short duration and low in intensity it again signifies minor nature.
As pain occurs following particular movement of arm and following belching or burping it suggests some minor nerve irritation or compression.
Since your pain is minor and of short duration, it should subside within a few days with simple analgesic or local application.
If it still persists, in case you don't get any relief or pain hampers your routine work, evaluation from orthopedic doctor is worthwhile.

Thanks for getting back to me.
Pain radiating or shooting to different areas points more towards a nerve pain.
Nerve pains occur off & on with movements of particular part.
Muscular pull pain is generally more constant & also cause little swelling at site of sprain or pull.
So pain shooting over top of your breast & armpit appear more of nerve in origin.
There are certain pains which are known as referred or radiating pain which occur at different place than site of disease or injury,
