What Causes Sporadic Chest Pain And Tightness?

Hi there I am due to see my GP next week, however I was wondering if you had an opinion. I am a 24yr male and in good phyisical condition. I have had a long grade pain in my right lung for a month now and it seems to fluctuate around a little. It does not seem to get worse when I move or anything. My chest sometimes feels a little tight although again this is sporadic. My breathing is fine mainly, although on few occasions I feel it is a little effort to take a proper breath. I did consider Pleurisy as a possible reason. I did have a nasty cold in November which went to my chest, for a week before recovering. I am a sporadic social smoker, although I can go without for a number of days. Many thanks
