Strain: This could be a strained pectoral muscle or an inflamed one. Treatment would consist of avoiding stress on that muscle, applying cold applications for 1-2 days followed by Heat,liniment and,if you can take them,nsaids like ibuprofen to reduce inflammation. See your physician if symptoms persist or worsen.
