Hi,
It is not normal to have persistent chest pain, If you touch your chest (under your right breast) do you feel pain? Does it hurt when you take a deep breath? Are you short of breath? You need to be seen and evaluated by your physician. A physical exam including listening to your lungs, blood tests and diagnostic imaging such as an x-ray or CT scan can help determine the cause of your symptoms and give you a diagnosis.
