What Causes Continuous Pain In Chest?

I have sharp, continuous pain (grade 3/10) in my chest near midaxillary region.
It is worsened at peak of forced expiration and also when I lay on my left.
It is relieved slightly when i lay on my right.
The pain comes and goes.
I never had this problem before.
Please help!

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get a chest x ray done to rule out any lung infection or it could be just a muscle pull. Do not lift heavy weights.Ibuprofen is anti inflammatory.
You will definitely improve with combination of painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Also apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Avoid movements causing pain
But better to first rule out lung infection.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
