What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest Radiating To Back?

I have a sharp pain on the right side of my chest that goes all the way through to my back. Sitting here not moving and breathing normal, it is just a uncomfortable feeling but when I breath in deep or move my head to the left and right, like you're warming up for exercise, the pain gets increasingly sharper and almost puts me in tears! What is it and how can I fix it?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of pulled muscle is more likely.
So avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid sudden jerky movements and neck and chest.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
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.
