Suggest Remedies For Chest Pain Around Strenum

I was exercising today and my chest started hurting around my sternum. This wasn't the first time I've felt this pain but I can't seem to find a reason for when it hurts and when it doesn't. During the exercise, I was pulling my shoulders back and widening my chest.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
So better to avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
You will mostly improve in 1-2 weeks with all these.
If not improving then get done chest x ray and ecg to rule out lung and heart related diseases.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
