[|Human|] 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.
[|AI|]  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
