i have been experiencing very sharp pains in my sternum area for the last 2 days. It hurts tremendously when i turn or pick up something off the floor. I don t have any pains while breathing but my chest feels heavy!! I don t know what it is and i am looking for possible ideas on what it could be.
Hello, Pain in the sternum can be caused by muscle sprain, acid reflux, collar bone or sternum injuries, Costco Chat Doctor.  You can take antacids, PPI's like Omeprazole & Acetaminophen (Tylenol).  Get physically examined, get X-Ray, CT, if required MRI done to rule out any injuries, hair cracks or fractures.  If sternum pain is persistent, associated with vomiting & chest pain, it can be indicative of developing cardiac problems.  So, you need to see a cardiologist & get all tests done. Add fiber in your diet, stay away from addictions if any, avoid oily food. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
