Tina - I know exactly what you mean. I was up most of the night also with sternum and back pain. The chest pressure also makes it painful to breathe. I'm so...

Yep....that would be me! I tend to have discomfort in my lower ribs on the sides rather than upper ribs on the front. I've been told that I am "atypical"...
