Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having costo-chondritis giving rise this problem.
In few cases this can be due to some cardiac ailment like coronary insufficiency as well.
So to rule out any cardiac ailment go for EKG to be on safe side.
Take some NSAID medicine for this pain.
Ok and take care.
