What Causes Sternum Pain?
I was kicked in the chest yesterday and now I am having pain in my sternum and it hurts when I take a breath. Doesn t feel like I am getting enough breath and when I take a deep breath the pain gets worse. Am I just sore from the blow to my chest or should I be concerned about something else?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The pain in the sternum can be because of the impact or fractured bone. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. You need to take a chest radiograph to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
