Hi
PAin under breast bone can be due to many reasons.Most commonly,it is due to muskuloskeletal cause.
Any disease related to bone can be made out in x XXXXXXX But,soft tissue lesions will not be seen in x XXXXXXX
As all the tests are normal,please get CT scan of chest for correct diagnosis.
Till then,please take skeletal Muscle relaxant tablet
If you come back with CT scan report,i will clarify further
Wish you good health
Regards
