Brief Answer:
Clinical examination and investigation will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might have suffered from soft tissue injury.
You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with serratipeptidase and an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg.
Give rest to your self and avoid lifting heavy weights.
Hot fomentation will help.

I would also advise that you should get an X Ray chest AP view to rule out any injury to ribs.
Also get yourself clinically examined by an orthopedic surgeon.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
