Dear Sir/mam,
The pain that you are complaining about is commonly seen in a condition called costochondritis. The pain is usually seen just lateral to the breast bone and the area can be tender to touch . It is a common condition seen in young adults who do a lot of household activities. The best treatment would consist of reducing your activities , analgesics and ice compressions to the area involved. Hope this has helped you.
