I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  First of all no need to worry for lung diseases as your chest x ray is normal. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.  So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.  1. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. 2. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside. 3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest. 4. Sit with proper back support. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 days.   Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
