Hello,
The pressure seems to be related to muscular skeletal issues of intercostal inflammation most probably.
I advise to monitor your blood pressure and record the results for reference.
A thorough cardiac check-up should be run to rule out cardiovascular problems:
- EKG
- echocardiogram
- stress test
- lipid profile testing.
For the moment, I only recommend taking oral painkillers (paracetamol or ibuprofen).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
