Hi,
Most probably it will be due to conditions like costochondritis. As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.
if symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
