Sounds like pleurisy, try some deep breathing exercises I mean really deep. Hold it and do this all day, it's going to hurt but just do it. If it is pleurisy you'll cough up phlegm. First thing Monday morning get to the doctor he will probably give you steroids and breathing treatments.

It could also be gas. Gas hurts everywhere. Acid reflux does to. Take an acid reducer like tagamet or ranatidine. If none of that works you better get to the doctor. If it worsens please go to the emergency room!!

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE? Go to A&E

You should go to the ER . I have heard of that happening to people before and they found out that it was because the had an ulcerated esophagus which is caused by acid reflux. It could be other things too. It's not something that should be ignored you should have it checked ASAP

Well, there are a lot of things that could be going on, depending on your age, etc.

One very painful condition is called costochondritis. It in inflammation of the joints between your sternum and your ribs. One way to know if this is a problem is if compressing your chest increases the pain. You can take NSAIDS for it (ibuprofen) until you have a chance to get in to see your doctor.
