Brief Answer:
It looks like a musculoskeletal pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Having gone through your symptoms, it does not appear to be because of any lung problem. However, I would to ask if you have any symptoms of cough, breathing difficulty, fever, weight loss?
When you had your body check up, I hope a chest x ray was also done and what is the report like? If not pl get a chest x ray done.
To me, it looks like a musculoskeletal pain or a nerve getting irritated. You may consult a orthopaedic surgeon for the same but I would definitely like to know your chest x ray report and if you are having any of the above mentioned symptoms.
You may take a Pan 40 for your gas problem which may help in this pain also.

So this is nothing cardiac related right doc.. i should consult a orthopeidec..
