Patients with sternal pain can go directly to the emergency department of a level II or higher hospital for consultation. If such patients can distinguish their symptoms clearly, they can also go to the following departments for consultation: 1. If the sternum pain is caused by direct trauma to the thorax, such as direct impact, the patient can go to the orthopedic department for consultation. 2. 3.If the patient has no trauma and the sternal pain appears, and it is obviously aggravated when coughing or deep breathing, he can go to respiratory medicine or pulmonary medicine for consultation. 4.If the patient has no trauma and the sternal pain appears after eating or drinking or after eating a lot of hard food, he can go to gastroenterology for consultation. Here is just the general situation, if the patient’s analysis is not clear, he or she can still go directly to the emergency department.
