well, I had a collapsed lung once.
associated chest pain is a symptom.
there's a whole medical explanation involving "blebs."
these are weak spots in lungs (congenital) which burst.
at some point the lung is weakened enough to actually collapse.
a collapsed lung is the most painful experience I have ever experienced or imagined.
and for some reason to fix it, they insert a steel straw shaped pointed spike in your chest without an anesthetic.
so they use 3 guys to hold you down.
an attached tube is used to pump air into your lung until the pressure is sufficient to reinflate it
- another one of those once-in-a-lifetime pain sensations.

hopefully this isn't what you have.
but you do have one of the symptoms...
