Hello and hope you are doing well.

If with movement you are getting pain it is likely to be an inflammation of the skin, subcutaneous tissue or the bone. This can happen with injury, repetitive activity or an infection of the skin. Sometimes it can be costo-chondritis, inflammation of the sterna rib junction. If the pain is aggravated with work or exercise then it could be due to cardiac pain. Please don't take any OTC medication without consulting your doctor first.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

If it gets worse with breathing or movement, it is not likely to be related to your heart. Just call your doctor and mention it to them to be safe.
