sternum, back and shoulder pain

Hello all,

Looking for some advice on an on going problem of approx 1 year....

I have been experiencing very bad sternum pain its a little sore to touch but its not that that worries me... its not all the time but a few times a day at least as i move just normally like everyone does i get an extreme piercing pain feeling in my sternum in-between my breasts which makes me shout 'ouch' it sometimes resorts me to tears....
i visited my gp who asked if id been in a car accident to which i replied i have not (because i have not), he sent me for an xray BUT i never got the results hense why i think they must be ok?!, anyway i have kind of just put up with the pains but since my upper back has been hurting and my left shoulder blade....
I did 3 weeks ago have a chest infection and wheeze present was given amoxicilin it didnt work so was put on a different antibiotic which worked however tonight i feel preasure in my lungs... like im struggling inside to breathe somehow.... im not athsmatic....i do not smoke..... i do not heavy lift or work in a heavy active line of work....
I did have plurosy 2 years ago but the pains have never gone.... can someone please help me and provide me with some advice

thank you

I also am having an issue with soreness right below my sternum. I do not have pain in my back or shoulders. but the soreness does get worse throughout the day, and sometimes is accompanied by nausea. I am worried about this bc i do not have insurance. dont know what to do? what could it be?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The symptoms could be due to acidity, duodenal ulcer, gastric reflux, gall bladder stones, pancreatitis, costochondritis, pinched spinal nerve, fibromyalgia or due to low Vit D.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!
