Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of pain at rib cage area that may be because of muscle strain also.

Plueral fluid accumlation in lung may cause sharp pain at chest region.Pluericy may diagnose.
Take chest x ray for diagnosis.

Costocondritis may cause pain at rib cage region.
If it is because of muscle strain than it has low intensity pain .Physiotherapy can helpful.

Consent a physician for further diagnosis.
