Based on what you’ve shared — neck pain at the back, right-sided chest pain that worsens on deep breathing, and normal ECG, ECHO, and chest X-ray — the most likely cause is musculoskeletal pain, not a heart or lung disease.
Common possibilities include:
• Cervical / upper thoracic muscle strain
• Costochondritis or intercostal muscle inflammation
• Postural strain (long phone use, laptop work, stress-related muscle tightening)
• Myofascial pain syndrome or trigger points
• Anxiety-related muscle tension (very common when pain persists for months)
The key reassuring points are:
• Cardiac causes are ruled out (normal ECG/ECHO)
• Lung causes are ruled out (normal chest X-ray)
• Pain increases with movement and deep breathing, which strongly favors a muscle or nerve origin
Chronic pain for 6 months can itself cause exhaustion, frustration, and fear — but persistent pain does not mean something dangerous is being missed, especially when investigations are normal.
Next Steps
1. Consult an orthopedician or physiatrist (pain / rehab specialist)
They can assess posture, muscle imbalance, and cervical–thoracic spine issues.
2. You may need:
• Cervical spine X-ray or MRI (only if clinically indicated)
• Targeted physiotherapy (not just painkillers)
3. Short-term treatment often includes:
• Muscle relaxant (for a few days)
• Anti-inflammatory medication (if safe for you)
• Heat therapy
4. If anxiety or stress is prominent, addressing it is part of treatment, not a sign that pain is “imaginary.”
Health Tips
• Avoid prolonged phone/laptop use with bent neck (“text neck”)
• Use a firm pillow, keep neck neutral during sleep
• Apply warm compresses 2–3 times daily
• Gentle neck and upper-back stretches (guided, not random)
• Deep breathing exercises to reduce chest wall muscle spasm
• Reassure yourself: this pattern is very common and treatable
You’ve been dealing with this for a long time, and feeling “tired of life” because of chronic pain is completely understandable — but this can improve with the right approach.

Most likely its due to muscle strain, you need to taking some muscle relaxants and pain relief medicine to control your symptoms now, stretching excercise also helps a lot for recovering. Consult for further management and evaluation.

Since your ECG, echo and chest X-ray are normal and your pain increases on deep breathing, this is most likely chest wall / muscle pain.
Next Steps
I will start you on short-term pain-reliever and muscle-relaxant treatment.
