Hi,
The symptoms are more likely suggest the possibility of a condition called costochondritis. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
