If it worries you, you should go to a doctor. I can tell you, having had pleurisy many times, that it's not that. Pleurisy is endlessly painful, usually due to constant coughing of bronchitis or pneumonia and kills when you cough. Treated with antibiotics. But 10-15 minutes only on occasion is most likely some muscular pain. I've had muscle pains that felt like I was having a heart attack and muscle pains that hurt when I breathed deeply. When it happens, you might try getting up and doing movements that work the soft tissues in the chest and ribs and see if you can isolate the pain that way.
