Hi welcome to HCM...

You pain in particular position and periodic ...So it could be musculoskeletal pain ...

But as you have history of cold , chest pain from bronchitis should be ruled out ...

For that chest x ray needs to be done ...

If bronchitis picture present with prominent bronchi vascular marking than according to severity treated with antibiotic , bronchodilator and decongestent drugs ....

If chest x ray normal than pain is musculoskeletal pain and only brufen needed for it along with proper sleep posture and warm compress

Take care

Advise : pulmonologist consultation....
