strange feeling around my chest after slouching

[vital]

Lately when I'm sitting for a while infront of the computer and I slouch, I'll feel the front of my chest contracting. I'll usually need to stretch by pulling my shoulders back and pushing my chest forward until I hear a snap which will then make me feel better. I really hope I didn't break any bones in my body because my workout partner is always pushing me to bench press extremely heavy weights for my size. So anyone ever get this feeling when they slouch?

How much do you weigh and how much do you press?

Hey, I thought I was the only one who 'popped' his sternum. I'm still alive and functioning normally after many years, so I would say it's harmless.

I've had that happen before. It feels like someone did a flying Lui Kang kick into your chest.

Sounds similar to cracking your back to relieve discomfort, only you're cracking your sternum.

You have 6 months to live.

I get all cramped up after leaning forward playing games or just reading.
