Hello, Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to local inflammation.  Is the pain triggered by deep breathing, manual pressure on the chest or body movements? This would indicate possible musculoskeletal pain underlying your complaints.  Anyway, if the chest pain persists, I recommend performing a chest X-ray study, inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR), a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
