Hello,
A detailed evaluation might be necessary for appropriate diagnosis and management. From the information shared by you it is possible that you are suffering from Costochondritis.In this condition there  is an inflammation of the cartilage which  connects rib to the breastbone .This pain can be very serious and worsens when taking deep breaths or coughing. A physical exam can confirm the diagnosis .You have already got chest X-ray and electrocardiogram done to rule out other conditions. High TLC indicates some infection and it is important to determine the exact focus of infection. High serum prolactin levels can be due to prolactenimea.It is important to get your case reviewed by a primary care physician. After a thorough assessment the cause of pain can be determined. For more queries and assistance keep me posted. Hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
