Hi
Thanks for asking HCM
Your problem is most likely costochondritis. Pain on palpation is characteristic for this. For my patients with such condition i treat with diclofenac or nimusulide gel for local application. I give this two drugs for oral intake also if pain is more. Because it is chest, you can avoid the confusion on heart by having an ECG.
Let me know if you have any further query
Have a nice day.
