I get a pain in my lower sternum and it pulses as if with my heart pumping. It only happens when I lie on my back and only for about 20-30 seconds. It is not severe. I excersise regulary doing cardio and weights for many years. I have noticed this condition for several months and it doesn't affect me at any other time other than when I go to bed. Any ideas?

Hi Dave,
I recommend being evaluated by a physician to determine the cause of your chest pain.
All the best,
