Sternum Pain

I’ve been having constant sternum pain for the past few months. I have acid reflux but this doesn’t feel like that. My sternum cracks a lot and feels tight. It also feels inflamed at times and is painful to touch. It hurts to lay down. My chiropractor recently popped a rib back into place last week but I have had pain way before then and it still continues.

Does anyone else have this issue? What should I do?

Sounds like a visit to your GP would be a wise move. Hope you get to the bottom of it. It's not something I've ever had, although I did once crack a rib through coughing too vigorously.
