Can Pain Caused By Cysts On Sternum And Chest Pain With Shortness Of Breath Be Cured?
Hi my name is Mona, I'm 15 years old and i have been having very sore chest pain and a sore lump or cyst on my (sternum) and sort of having shortness of breath. i was pretty scared so my mum took me for a X-ray and a ECG, everything was fine. My doctor said it is just pain of the sternum and it will go away soon because the fan was blowing on my chest, and the cyst is hereditary.
i just would like to know your advice, the pain is pretty annoying.

The pain could possibly be due to costochondritis.
Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination.
Suggest you to send Healthcare-Magic clinical photograph for further assessment.
Take care
