What Causes Persistent Sharp Pain In The Mid Chest?

I have been working out and running for several weeks now and this is the first time I have been running since middle school. I ve notice the past two days a slight sharp pain when I inhale all the way. The pain is in the center of my chest. Is this like a pulled muscle surrounding my lung?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of pulled muscle is more likely.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
