What Causes Discomfort At The Bottom Of Sternum With Painful Breathing?
For the last 4 days I have been experiencing mild discomfort at the very bottom of my sternum. However, when I fill my lungs by taking a deep breath it hurts all the way up to the bottom of my neck. I don t have or ever have had any heartburn (except while pg) or acid reflux issues nor do I think that is the issue now. Whenever I drink anything (cold water) it is also a little painful. It also seems slightly harder to breathe but I m not experiencing any shortness of breath. Without being able to see me what is the most likely issue? Could I have pulled a mussel that is interfering with my diaphrame? I m 39 and still sometime carry my 35 lb 4 year old.
