What does it mean when you have soreness in the middle of your chest?

If the pain is not constant or reoccuring its probably nothing to worry about. However it could be due to an infection in the lungs (viral, bacterial sometimes fungal) It also depends if the pain occurs when you breathe in or when you breathe out. If you are constantly experiencing pain, depending on how bad the pain is, you may want to get to a doctor.
