Costrochronditis due to work or exercise or feeling you chest ribs all the time most likely.

At your age, rib cage musculoskeletal pain is one common cause. Discuss local heat , PT and Ibuprofen with your physician. Cardiac causes and complications of COVID-19 should be considered. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available to review your symptoms. Watch for signs of breathing difficulty and dizziness.
