Could IBS or muscle strain be causing this chest discomfort?

Is my IBS causing all this !
I was diagnosed with IBS last year .
I went through a stage of being very gassy and then it stopped and I then think I had trapped wind recently followed by a day of gas yesterday!
I was getting a dull ache sometimes shooting pain under my left rib (below breast ) I had a stomach ache and some cramping which has eased a bit today however I now have a discomfort in my chest . It’s mostly noticeable when I stretch up or bend down , I’d say it’s more like pressure/ ache feeling. Does not hurt to breath in or anything.
just to note I started a new job in December , I’m a contracted cleaner and it’s pretty full on (a lot of deep cleans) so I know this is also a possibility.
My muscles under breast feel a little tender when pressed.
anyone else experienced this , i have health anxiety and feel pretty stressed as well !
