Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
But better to rule out cardiac and Pulmonary causes for this chest pain.
So get done ecg to rule out cardiac diseases.
Get done chest x ray to rule out Pulmonary causes.
If both are normal then no need to worry much for your pain.
It is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain.
So apply warm water pad on affected site. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. You may need painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
