Hello,
Any pain on left side rib cage can not be taken lightly.There is always possibility of heart related issues. Also some time gastric pain can mimic like this. I would suggest you to get ECG to see if every thing is normal as soon as possible.
Omez is good for heart burn. Also avoid eating very spicy food and oily substances.
For muscle pull hot water fomentation and volitran ointment is helpful.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
