Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Since you are having positive family history of cardiac issue, in my opinion you should first undergo ECG and 2D ECHO and consult cardiologist and rule out cardiac cause. Sometimes pleurisy can also cause similar pain. For this consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray. If all these are normal than no need to worry take simple psin killers.
