Hello @happyat76 -- I like you member name. I will be sort of happy at 76 the end of next month. I have sleep apnea but have not experienced pain like you described in the breastbone area. I did find some information on Mayo Clinic's site that I think is describing what you are feeling.
Costochondritis

Hello John,
Thanks for your advice and input on my chest pain. I am glad you like my name. It is what I strive to be every single day of my life. I for sure will check out the sites you have mentioned to me to look at. I hope I find some info there.

Welcome! I also like your member name!!
I do not have Costochondritis (and never heard of it), but I did have sleep apnea.
I did not have breastbone pain from the apnea. Mostly, I was just tired ALL the time, but that too could have been from other ailments., t
I had weight loss surgery and when I lost about 20 lbs., the apnea went away.
I hope you find an answer to your pain!
