What Causes Pressure And Pain At Sternum On Bending Or Standing?

Sometimes when i bend down (point towards my toes/ to pick something up) there's a sense of pressure and pain at my sternum. Sometimes when i get up from the couch as well. May i know what is the cause of this? im skinny as well,weighing at 42kg,and 158cm. Could this be the cause of it? Because my chest is almost a little flat? Thanks for answering m question :) i appreciate it.
