Hello,
Your symptoms can be related to costochondritis. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. Costochondritis usually goes away on its own and no specific treatment is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
