Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your chest pain is associated with position and movements, it is less likely due to cardiac diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days.
If not improving after 2-3 days then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
