Hello,

So in August it will be 3 years since I was in a car accident where I got a bruised sternum (in my chest). On that day I visited A&E and they said my sternum was bruised and sent me away with painkillers. It was better within about a month or so but it has never been 100% right.

To this day I still get little twinges in my chest etc and I sometimes get quite breathless doing strenuous things (sometimes I am out of puff after a short walk!). Half of me puts it down to being VERY unfit and also I suffer from anxiety and stress myself alot, but the other half of me worries it is something else when I get little twinges etc. It could still be to do with my injury from the accident right?

I have also been known to be anaemic in the past too so I worry it could be a combination?

I'm not sure to be honest.

Thanks
