If you heard a crack, then it's definitely possible!. The other signs like the pain associated with breathing points toward a broken sternum too!. Is it tender to the touch!? Is there any visible deformities!? You really need to have that checked out!. The sternum is a pretty hard bone to break, but I wouldn't underestimate it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
