Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to costochondritis, which is a chronic inflammation of the cartilages in the chest wall. In such cases, I would recommend taking naproxen for a couple of weeks and using warm local packs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
