What Causes Pain In The Chest While Breathing?
I have pain in my right chest area in the front when I breath or sometimes just sitting still, not constant. Seems likes pressure or a needle. The pain extends to directly in my back with really tight muscles. I am still active and able to do things. But I am so exhausted, trying to eat healthy but I can exercise because I m so exhausted.

Hello,
It might be muscular pain or costochondritis or pneumonitic patch. Go for X-ray chest.
Also, procure ECG to rule out any cardiac association as you are in the elderly age group.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
