I am not a doctor nor are the other volunteers and my advice cannot be taken for a diagnosis or for medical advice. Do you engage in a lot of athletic activity?
The reason I'm asking is that you may have been hit in the chest in a contact sport, sat on in wrestling or martial arts or otherwise injured through sports.
The symptoms you are mentioning sound like cracked ribs to me as I felt the pain at the seperation of where my ribs met, couldn't bend over or move after my ribs were cracked during a wrestling lesson where 200 pounds worth of opponent sat on my chest.
If it's cracked ribs they heal on their own and I don't think doctor's even bother to tape them up anymore. I would avoid athletic activity and see if in a few days it gets better or not.
If you don't see any progress after then I would see your physician as it could be something else that is amiss especially if you aren't even athletic. Make people aware of the problem and monitor it closely and get your doctor's advice for peace of mind.
