Hi,
Cardiac chest pain does not occur after inspiration and occurs after exercise and decrease after rest. There are many other causes of chest pain but if the pain is occurring after inspiration than I would advise you to first get a chest X-ray done.
I would also advise you to get an ECG and 2D Echo done to make sure that the pain is not related to the heart.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
