What Causes Strong Pulsating Sensation At The Top Of Sternum?
I m having a strong throbbing/pulsating occurring at the top of my sternum, almost in between my breasts. It doesn t hurt, the pulsing is just strange/bothersome. It s been occurring for a couple of weeks, but today the throbbing got much more intense.

Hello and welcome.
You will first of all require an EKG and a treadmill test to rule out any serious cardiac event and so please do arrange for the same.
But once this is ruled out, speak to a physician to help suspect/diagnose/rule out causes like costochondritis/Tietze's disease.
Best wishes.
