Brief Answer:
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain on bending is characteristic feature of musculoskeletal pain.
So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
You will mostly improve by all these.
Another possibility is GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause central chest pain. So avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
