Hello, This tender area is most probably due to stain of your abdominal muscles which takes origin at ribs around sternum. This will go away in 3-5 days by taking proper rest. At present, you may have a good analgesic like Advil for relief. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
