Addiction Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
back of the chest is typically a lung pain. cannot say in your particular case
but
this pain is burning, changed by the breathing cycle and often with breathing changes (noisy lung, cough, gunk, etc).
it is more common in smokers
asthma medicines like monteleukast usually fix it right up.
