Hello,
The pain in chest is likely to be due to muscular. In case the pain is associated with change in posture, the muscular nature of pain is confirmed. I suggest you to avoid the posture which leads to increased pain and to use muscle relaxant to relieve the pain. You may consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of medication.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
