Chest tissues/ muscle pain

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

From past 3-4 days I'm experiencing pain in the right side chest tissues/muscle, almost towards the center of the chest. The pain feels like a muscle tear or sprain or twisted nerve. To observe, right chest part looks slightly swollen. I play cricket sometimes and I didn't get hurt while playing. I don't remember any other activity that might have done the damage. Could you please let me know the solution? Which specialist should I visit and is there a need for xray? Thanks in advance!
