A member asked:
I am having spasms in the area below my sternum.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sternal Spasms: Vigorous abdominal exercise can strain any of the muscles extending from the bottom of the sternum and ribs to the lower pelvic and pubic bones. Spasm can occur anywhere in this large muscular region and present in many different ways. Palpable tightness or pain is a common complaint. Gentle stretching by arching upward while lying on the stomach (sphinx or cobra position) usually helps.
