Hi there
Thanks for the query
If appears like you have Costochondritis which is inflammation of the rib-cartilage junction in front of the chest. It could hurt in pressing, lying down from sitting position or taking deep breath.
It is advisable to take Paracetamol or Ibuprofen for pain relief. Apply warm packs to the painful region. Have a diet rich in Vitamin D and calcium.
I hope I have answered your query.
