Hello,
It is not related to your diet or health supplements.
Most probably it will be a musculoskeletal pain like costochondritis.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
