Answers:

Chest wall pain is common - the pain could just be deferring to your shoulder and arm. Have your doctor check it out - really, it could be as simple as muscle strain, asthma or GERD. There could also be issues with the liver, kidney, spine or gallbladder; it doesn't sound like you have these problems, but still, a urinalysis can rule some of these things out, and it's better to have a doctor look you over just to be on the safe side. Good luck :o)
