thanks for your query
i completely understnd your query
actually causes of chest pain can be muscular , costochondritis that is inflammation of cartilages, due to lung or pleural causes , cardiac causes , peptic ulcer , gastritis .
as per the number of causes it needs to be rule out all the causes to find the main root cause .
you need to get some investigations like xhest xray ecg, spirometry , may be a 2 d echocardiography and consult a pulmonologist to evaluate the cause.
u need to disscuss all these causes and treatment modalities
thanks / regards
