What Causes Pain In The Sternum And Tingling On Wrist?

At times I get a pain in the sternum area and then get a tingling in the back of the wrist. I have seen a doctor who states it is not the heart. I go to the gym regularly and at times get this pain _lasts a few seconds, but can still do aerobic exercise with no problem. Is there a nerve from this area that can affect the hand region.

may be you should deal with them as 2 separate problems conected by stress on respiratory muscles or eating high protein diet causing gastric reflux causing sternal pain
+tesion in your neck causing back wrist pain
