Suggest Me Treatment For Strong Pain And Breathlessness In My Upper Chest?

I am a 23 year old male. I woke up a few hours with a strong pain in my upper chest. it was much worse a few hours ago and I could barely move and it hurt to breath although my breathing is not restricted. It has gotten much better in the past few hours but deep breaths still hurt and it doesn't feel right...

thanks for asking your question
i completely understand your question
upper chest pain an be due to a variety of reasons
but in young age causes are not that serious
diseases causing chest pain in young age can be muscular , peptic ulcer , gastritis , or rarely in young age can be a cardiac cause.
you need to consult a pulmonologist who can request for a chest xray and an ecg , and evaluate the cause of chest pain
for now you can take a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole once daily if your physician prescribes
no need to panic
thanks
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
