Are u a smoker? Or a diabetic?.
The symptoms u suggest appears more of a Costochondritis ie inflammation of rib bone. There is a history of trauma also there.
Though it appears benign u can take some precautionary measure.
U can have some pain killers.
But if this pain keeps on coming and bothering u it is strongly advisable to visit hospital for baseline ECG.

You should not have any worry
The pain you mentioned seems to be from bone that has been hit few days back
Nothing to be scared of or relate it to corona
You can do some hot massage on pain site and apply some gel for pain relief

Sir, thanks for your question. U need not to panic. Doesn't look at all like flu or Covid19.
If the pain in ribs and the 4 days old injury on the same side of the chest, that it can be the reason. In that case, apply voveron ointment on the site of pain 2-3 times a day with some warm fomentation for next 3-4 days. This should do.
Next Steps
if the pain still persist, we can add some tablet for pain.
Health Tips
keep doing breathing exercises and avoid weight lifting work.

What r other symptoms that you r experiencing?
By doing what like walking, exertion, eating or empty stomach- it increases or decreases in intensity. For how much time the pain remains?
Is there stiffness also?
How is your appetite?
R you constipated?
Any problem in urine?
I need to know more to be able to make diagnosis. In the meanwhile Follow this
1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). ) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do.
2. Don't Overeat
3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever ur mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is ur traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc.
4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc
5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep.
6. Maintain active life style
7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, Carbonated beverages
8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit.
9. Drink lot of water.
10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time
Exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, Swimming, gym etc.
