Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your chest pain is associated with specific movement (sneezing) and position (stretching), possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week.
If not improving after 1 week then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
