Doesnt happen often but ive had 4 charlie horselike spasms on the right side of my sternum. possible hernia? i'm 32 and good health usually.

Esophagus: I am thinking this is more likely due to a spasm in the esophagus than a hernia. If they are disturbing then I would see your MD who may recommend a gastroscopy.
