Brief Answer:
Costochondritis most likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely Costochondritis. It is better to rule out cardiac issues by taking Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG). Breast should be palpated fully for any lumps also.
For Costochondritis you can apply Diclofenac gel or liniment locally. You can also take NSAIDs like Ibuprofen. This is available as over the counter.
Is this pain constant?
Is there any provoking factors for this Pain?
Is there any relieving Factors for this Pain?
How often you get it?
Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
