Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to costochondritis. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
If the symptoms continue, you should see a rheumatologist for a specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
