If you have this swelling since a long time and you donot have these difficulties it might be thyroid disorder(most common).Since the swelling is huge/significant enough to cause tightness and fatigue I suggest you to take an opinion from the surgeon since it needs to be evaluated.The origin of the swelling has be determined.Hope this helps.Take care.
The signs and symptoms you have mentioned - breast swelling, neck tightness/swelling, sternum shift, ribs are out of place, hint that you might need investigations like mammography to know more and rule out breast pathology like tumors. However, complete physical examination is mandatory to assess this. I suggest a general surgeon visit initially. Let me know if you have have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
