Not likely cardiac: Sounds like a musculoskeletal problem based on description. Try simple remedies first like ice or heat , anti-inflam medications and perhaps more support to the chest wall when jumping. If the symptoms persist or if additional symptoms develop such as shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, etc, then stop physical activity until you are evaluated in-person by a qualified clinician
