How can i heal a sternal fracture ? i dont even know how i fractured it. no injury i can recall?

How do you know that your sternum is fractured. Unless there is an underlying bone disease fracture of sternum would require considerable trauma. What symptoms do you have? If you have breathing difficulty, see a doctor or go to an ER. For info: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507790/ Wish you good health!
