Thank you for your interpretation. I've been popping my sternum for about a year, and since last week this popping didnt help relieve the discomfort of my chest. Thinking back to it, I've been sleeping on my girlfriends mattress since last year. I'm going to try sleeping on the floor!

I had the exact same issue for about the same amount of time until the reliving popping sensation was no longer happening. it turned into just constant sternum pain, especially when I exercised, and stretching until it popped no longer worked, it just caused more pain. I ended up seeing a chiropractor about it and saw no results until 4-5 weeks. Until that point, I was discouraged. However, now my pain is 70-80% gone. I had a few spinal adjustments done, and he gave me some daily stretches and exercises to focus on, which is what I think really helped the most. Stretch your pectoral muscles to keep them loose. This takes stress off of the cartilage surrounding your sternum and ribs. Opening up your rib cage in general does the same; pinch your shoulder blades together and hold for a few seconds. Doing this often relieves stress put on the sternum and ribs which will over time alleviate the sternum pain you're experiencing. Trust me, my pain was debilitating and frustrating and I had lost all hope until my progress came around. Keep stretching your pecs to keep them loose and do back exercises that pinch your shoulder blades together to relieve that sternum stress. Strengthening the back muscles will also act to relieve that stress put on the upper rib cage.

Doctors aren't miracle workers... they're overpaid legal drug dealers... start taking yoga classes if you really want to get rid of the pain for good. You can thank me when we meet in the afterlife.

I also have pain in my sternum, though not as severe as yours. I isolated the cause as an exercise that I do while lifting weights. It is a chest exercise in which I lie on my back, on a bench, with the weights held straight up above my chest. From this position, I lower the weights behind my head and return to the starting position. My solution was to reduce the weights. Since reducing the weights, the pain in my sternum has receded, though it has not completely gone.

I go through this too. When i was in the army in aug 2012, i got promoted to spc. Everyone higher rank than you get to punch u in the chest. This big ass buff corporal stepped by and nailed me in the sternum. I could barely breathe for like 5 mins. After that any sit ups dips, anything i did that moved my upper chest would feel like it was going to rip my chest apart. I would strech or move a certain way to relieve the pressure but sometimes it wont pop and it hurts. Ive had sternum xrays, and chest xrays, and the army doctors didnt find anything. I workout everyday now that im a veteran about to go to college. If i do chest press, dips, wide arm pullups, chest flys its painful and it last a while. But my postworkout is a protein shake, and a nice blunt. So im dealing lol.

I've been having this pain for a few days now. I actually noticed it while doing yoga about a day after I woke up with extreme neck pain on one side (6 days ago).
I was doing a standing back bend with my arms over my head and something in my sternum popped & there was a lot of pain. It subsided to an achiness & I generally didn't have problems except when I'd bend backwards w/ my arms overhead. I'd also never has neck pain last that long; it'd hurt when I turned my head to the left or tilted my head to the left.
Ibuprofen, heat, cold, slow neck stretching all did nothing to make it go away.
I found this thread & tried your suggestion, which is essentially baby cobra pose. I also did cat/cow & cobra & camel pose. Then I stood up & breathing slowly I raised my arms overhead. I slowly bent backwards then came back up a bit while breathing in. Then repeated, going farther and farther each time. At first it felt like my chest was going to pop, but I tried to breath into it & relax those muscles.
Afterwards there was a mild soreness in my sternum, but no sharp pain and when I turned my head to the side it felt normal, when, moments ago I'd tried with some residual pain. So, slow careful stretching probably is everyone's best bet.

My older brother was playing football with me and he accidentally lifted me up and threw me on the couch "accidentally" and I landed on my head and somehow it affected my sternum and the doctor said I popped it out of place so I'm going to get it popped into place right now, so actually no, it's not heart burn!

Hello, I have been having this same exact problem as everyone described below. So, i will not describe it. I want everyone to instead post and lets see if we have something in common based on our daily lifestyles, routines, habits. I noticed ever since i got my first full time job as an accountant, this began. Currently i'm 25 years old and have been experiencing this for about 4 years. I personally think it has ALOT to do with posture. I used to drive to and from work, slouch at my desk, lay on the couch on my side when watching TV. I noticed i rarely have this problem when i spend the day outdoors walking. I used to be a swimmer, (butterfly/freestyle stroke). I used to lift fairly heavy in High school. was benching 225lbs at age 16. I also think it may be an injury from lifting back in the day, especially since i essentially stopped all physical activities. Also, I noticed it depends on the weather. Usually worse when its humid outside, and when i use air conditioning in the summer. Anyway, lets hear what others have to say.

This is unhelpful because this person doesn't seem to understand the discussion. This is a very real problem and NOT heartburn. Serious comments only.
