Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to costochondritis. Symptoms include tenderness and pain when touching the chest area. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Naproxen to relieve the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
