I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?
