Pain In Right Upper Lung While Breathing In And Middle Chest Area. Burning In Heart. What Is This ?

HELP PLEASE!!!! Hi, this morning I woke up with pain in what seems like the right upper lung when I breath in and went away when exhaled. I was up around 8 am and now it is after modnight and 1:30 am. It has not gotten any better and feels worse and like its traveling to the left side at the same time I m having pain on the right side. It s more in the middle right chest area. I can now feel a kind of burning like heart burn in my chest. Any clues to what this may be? And should I go in to ER? No insurance and will be pointless to go if my health problem isn t seriousbl enough. It started as one big sharp pain and still is but it has a wider area of pain thg is duller than the start point of the right side upper lung ...any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!! THANKS!!!

If the pain persists or is getting worse, it`s better you consult a physician as any chest pain esp if it is spreading should not be ignored. Your chest pain can be simply of musculoskeletal(ie bones, joints, cartilages or muscles around chest wall) origin or because of hyperacidity just to name a few causes. however if it does not go soon you need a heart and lung work up to rule out any serious cause for the pain.
