<human>: When I take a deep breath, my who chest hurts. I would describe the pain like muscle soreness after working out. I also seem to have an achiness under right side of rib cage. Haven t done anything to cause any injury. I am 58 yrs. old and healthy. Could this be a problem to see a doctor for?
<bot>: Thanks for asking your question completely understand your issue yes chest pain associated with inspiration or respiration can be due to lung or pleural pathology. You need to see a pulmonologist, he may request for a chest X-ray to rule out pleural effusion or any chest injury, if it is a simple muscular injury he may advise you for some analgesics like paracetamol for pain and other treatments necessary thanks / regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
