Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of pulled muscle is more likely because your pain is associated with movements.
So follow these steps.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs (ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside).
5. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
