What Causes Chest Pain When I Turn My Neck?
I am a 16 year old male and When I turn my neck all the way to the right as if to look behind me, I experience chest pain on the right side. I also experience this pain whenever I try and lie down. It isn't a sharp or excruciating pain, just a dull chest pain.. Why do I feel this ?

Hi thanks for asking question.
You have no other symptoms beside pain.
According to history provided it strongly look like musculoskeletal pain.
The cause might be improper sleep posture or heavy weight lifting or excess straining due to some unacvoustemed situation.
Take simple analgesic and hot compress for that.
Secondly it could be because of costochondritis or myositis like inflammatory or infective condition.antibiotic might need for that.
If you still have pain after few days then further investigation done with chest x ray and ECG.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
