Pain at the breastbone

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

I began having pain in my breastbone about a week ago. The pain is always there, about a 3/10. And increases to a 5 with deep breaths. A few days later, the pain started radiating 9-10/10 randomly to my shoulders and higher in my chest. I havent been able to find a pattern for the radiating pain, as I didn't eat for 4 days. I attempted to eat yesterday, but as soon as I took the first bite, the pain was excruciating. And I became nauseas. I have tried to figure the pain out, and nothing seems to fit. I had heartburn for about a week when pregnant five years ago, and it does not feel like heartburn or reflux.
