Why Am I Having Sore Breast Bone With Tightness And Pain?
My upper chest - primarly breastbone and just to the right of it - has been sore for two days. I'd compare the pain to having coughed too hard. it's more of an extreme tightness than pain. I have not been coughing and don't have cold symptoms. I was treated with antibiotics for a sinus infection about three weeks ago.

Hi. I can understand your concern.
If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get a chest x ray done to rule out any lung infection or it could be just a muscle pull. Do not lift heavy weights.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
