Absolutely, you should see a cardiologist if at all possible to document any abnormal physical findings, EKG and symptomatic review of systems.

To: sternum pain
My husband has pain with his sternum also. It has been 2 years since his surgery. He strained it at work and since that time he has been in pain. Also his hands burn and sting constantly. He had 2 stents and one of them twisted for some unknown reason and caused him to have a heart attack. He has had problems since. He has about 35% heart function. Can someone help us with answers?
