Brief Answer:
Need more information..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I would like to know if the pain is persistent for a week or is it an intermittent pain?
If it is intermittent how long the chest pain typically lasts?
Do you have cough, fever or abdominal pain?
Can you describe the area which is hurting (sides, front - right/left, middle/breast bone)?
Have you had similar pain in the past?
Do you smoke?

Awaiting your response...

Brief Answer:
muscular ache likely...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As per your description, the pain seems to be aggravated by activities / movements. This description is consistent with muscular aches. You probably may have developed muscle strain. I will suggest you try pain medications such as Tab Movexx MR twice daily along with proton pump inhibitor like cap happi D twice daily.

If symptoms don't improve, you should consult a doctor for physical examination.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
