HI,
chest pain associated with breathing points toward some pathology like pleuritis, pneummonia or even aggravation of COPD like asthma or chronic bronchitis.you should consult a chest specialist and go for complete physical examination. ECG and echocardiography should be done to rule out cardiac pathology, blood pressure should be taken, TLC ,DLC, ESR,chest X ray and PEFR should be done.avoid smoking and follow your physician , you will be ok very soon.
thanks for consulting HCM.
