Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

The pain mainly felt over lower ribs .
So it could be inflammation of costal cartilage that is costochondritis ....
For that ibuprofen antinflammatory drug taken ..
Rest taken. ...
Hot pad can be applied....
Avoid strenous work...
Proper sleep posture.

Second possibility could be bronchitis like respi condition for which chest x ray useful ....

Third less possibility is cardiac problem.
If you have constricting type pain then angina like ischemic cardiac problem ruled out ....
Tread mill and ECG useful for it .

Take care .

Hope your concern solved.
