Tenderness around the lower end of the sternum could be due to several factors, including costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the sternum), muscle strain, or even digestive issues like gastritis or acid reflux.
If the tenderness persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it's advisable to consult physically for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
