What could be the issue and how best can I resolve the issue?

My issue is that I am having pain on my right side of the chest especially when I take in a deep breath and it tends to extend to the back. But at times the pain comes and goes. This is the second day since I started feeling this.

If no cough, no fever, or any other problems, most likely muscle strain. Take tylenol or ibuprofen if needed. Applying heating pads will help. Look for no blistery rash on chest. Be sure it's not neuralgic pain from shingles.
