hi,

thank you for providing a brief history of your case. well, to look ahead of your discomfort in the sternal region it can be due to weakness of the respiratory muscles.

try doing some breathing exercises and abdominal strengthening exercises. Abdominal muscles are the muscles for respiratory system and the strength in them are of due importance for the ease of breathing. Pilates is the form of exercises you can perform.

suppose in case after doing what I told doesn't help then I Advice you to meet a physician and get yourself checked once.

its never a bad idea to take a consultation from a specialist. a crst x-ray will be of input in future as well.
