Brief Answer:
Most likely musculoskeletal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

This type of pain is mostly musculoskeletal. Doesn't appear to be cardiac or lung origin.

To further evaluate the cause, a xray chest and ECG should help.

Over the counter pain relievers like paracetamol work in most cases.

Hope this helps.
Regards
