Thanks for your query...
Any sort of inhaler do not lead to swelling of sternal region.If you are getting a crepitant feeling it may be subcutaneous emphysema or else can be some muscular inflammation.
It will be better to get a chest xray done. nalgesic serratiopeptidase combination can be tried if it is painful...
best wishes
