Chest pain: Did you do something strenuous? The bruised sternum/broken ribs can take awhile to recover completely. It is not unusual to feel better and then do something that aggravates them. If you are having trouble breathing then GO to the emergency department otherwise follow up with your physician if no improvement. You might take an over the counter medicine such as Tylenol, Advil, or Aleve.
