Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since your chest pain is associated with movements and specific positions, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. But better to get done chest X-ray first. If chest X-ray is normal then no need to worry for lung diseases.
Do following things for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest and right arm.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like Ibuprofen and Thiocolchicoside.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
