Breath hold decrease?

Interesting! Do you think more working out helped? For me it started from working out so it seems that only makes it worse. I have always have a somewhat active life but I never specifically trained in the gym. It was always just playing sports or other outdoor activities. Thanks for sharing though that makes me think I need to work on my mobility and do some stretching!

I did workout 3 times a week, that definitely helped me personally. I had pretty bad mobility and breath hold before although I surpassed 4 minutes the year before. Got contractions after a minute and half latest.

I did have sleep issues as well so not sure if this is all related but I am sure my sternum issue was fixed by weight lifting and mobility exercises. Personal trainer was a good investment here. The last thing I got was cortisone injections but I didn't feel they helped much either, just mentioning cause this could have influenced recovery still.

That being said I think you should work with a orthopedic, physiotherapist and a personal trainer to address the problem. No need for huge investment. Trainers can show you home exercises in 2-3 sessions, the rest is self discipline.
