Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

Your symptoms could be suggestive of a musculoskeletal pain, probably a strained muscle.

Do you have chest pain when taking deep breaths or during body movements?

This would indicate a musculoskeletal pain .In such case, Acetaminophen or ibuprofen would help improve your situation.

If this pain persists and it is not modulated by deep breathing or body movements, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,
