Suggest Remedies For Intense Pain In The Underarm

a couple of days ago i began having intense pain on my left side a bit lower than my underarm....down my side at my ribcage area. It is very sharp when i breathe in or cough and now i am not feeling well. I don t have any respiratory symptoms such as cold, cough, etc. I don t remember pulling any muscle. I am wondering if I should see a doctor tomorrow or go to the er for diagnostic testing
