I have pain in the exact centre of my ribs, just above the middle of my breasts, it only hurts when i push down on it?

Tietze Syndrome: You likely have some form of inflammation of the cartilage of the chest. This is very common if you have had a recent cold or cough. If the pain is coming with activity or without touching your chest you should see a doctor to rule out cardiac issues.
