Are Sharp Pain In Wrist And Sternum And Difficulty In Breathing A Cause For Concern?

Hello, I am an 18 year old female. And recently I have a sharp pain in my left wrist and also a sharp pain in my sternum. It hurts to breathe deeply, but the pain usually goes away within a few minutes. This situation has happened to me twice, should I be concerned?

Hello,

As you are 18 we cannot suspect some major pathology for your health. I think this pain can be related to the tight inner clothes. It happens due to compression over the shoulder level and rib level as well. At shoulder level, there is a muscle called the Trapezius which can undergo spasm with tight inners. As the symptoms have come only once or twice we need to wait and see because major symptoms are more frequent than once a while. Kindly wear loose inners or little relaxed ones which has more flexibility. This should help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
