Pain in the chest is likely to be caused by tension in the muscle wall. A classic symptom of anxiety and something I had myself. As far as my anxiety was concerned, it had bigger fish to fry so it didn't really bother me as much as some of the other symptoms, like having scary thoughts.

Learn to accept the strange feelings and emotions as symptoms of anxiety and give them no respect. In developing an attitude of acceptance and not shrinking away from the feelings, you will begin to care less about them and focus on other interests. Those feelings will gradually diminish in power to the point that they no longer bother you.

It could be pleurisy. I have it and that's what it does and how it feels. You can try a heating pad sometimes it works but you should definitely have it checked out

You may have strained your chest well muscle.
