Absent other symptoms your pain seems to be muscular. Please do not waste time looking up medical things on line as it is full of misinformation and leads to un-necessary worry and confusion. Always ask or see your MD

Watch for shortness of breath, fainting and cough. I agree that most likely there is inflammation of the chest wall. Local heat and ibuprofen are often useful, please discuss with your physician. If symptoms further develop, consider a COVID-19 test.
