Hello, This problem is very common nowadays. Just start working on your pectoral muscles(chest muscles) and shoulder muscles. Your trapezius muscle may get overused due to tightning of surrounding muscles ,so start working on surrounding muscles and joints.

This pain is usually a rib dysfunction. Usually harder to sort online and requires rib mobilising.
