Q: Chest pain with sore shoulder and arm - see a doctor?

hey everyone! i'm a 21 year old male and since friday night i have had some chest pain in my upper left part of my chest. i am not overweight i do not smoke, do drugs or anything and i usually do not drink.
friday night i made spaghetti and texas toast and had some wine and then drank some more alcohol. i usually don't drink alcohol and was wondering if maybe this had anything to do with it.
i first noticed the pain when i was going to sleep friday night. it felt as if i was laying on my side wrong. it's not extreme pain but enough to cause some sort of concern. when i breathe in deeply it makes it a little more noticeable or when i put pressure on it. also if i were to hug someone it hurts. also when i sneeze it hurts a bit. i don't have health insurance so i don't want to go to the doctor. and i thought it would just go away. it's wednesday night now and it's a little less painful then it was friday, but it's still there. it almost seems like it is making my shoulder and arm sore as well.
i know i should visit a doctor, but any help someone can provide is much appreciated. thanks a lot!
