Hello,

The discomfort in the chest bone can be related to pleurisy. This condition is an inflammation or irritation of the lining of the lungs and chest.The most common causes of pleuritic chest pain are bacterial or viral infections. It should be evaluated by an X-ray of the chest. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
