Lower left chest pain only when I touch

Hello. It's been about 9 days that I've been having pain in my chest.

I went to sleep fine and woke up with a pain in my lower chest just below the breast (in my rib bones) which since then has gotten worse and spread in the lower rib bones.

It hurts me only when I touch it or when I raise my hand. I can breath perfectly fine and don't feel a thing. So if I don't touch it I am perfectly good.

I didn't get injured and I didn't have a cold.

Just woke up and had the pain. Maybe it got worse because I also started gym this week but the pain appeared before I even registered to gym.

it feels like someone hit me with a bat or I fell down.

I spoke to a doctor and she told me its probably just muscle pain from a cold without any further exam.

I am a 24yo male.

Should I worry or was the doctor right?
