Since yesterday i've had pain in the bottom part of sternum and below it, on and off. it's more sharp than dull and seems to increase with excitement?

See a physician: This could represent just localized inflammation. Also, there may be underlying abdominal pathology, or potentially pathology in the chest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I would recommend evaluation by a physician.
