<s>[INST] I am a Flight Attendant and after work yesterday, later in evening, I noticed pain near xiphoid process. Also, I lifted a heavy box from Costco, up two flights of stairs. I didnt lift any particularly heavy luggage items, during flight, but was engaging in some pretty aggressive rearraning of pax luggage in overhead bins. Felt ok, when I got home, but suprisingly the pain increased til bedtime and was really bad during nite. Any suggestions! Claudia [/INST] Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It seems you have strained your muscles and tendons near to xiphoid process too much while engaging in rearranging . apply cold pack and apply any pain relieving spray where you are experiencing pain . and dont lift  any thing heavy for next 2 to 3 days and avoid any direct or indirect impact over painful site. Please do take care while coughing or sneezing it may hurt you a lot, sleep straight and once your pain subsides please do start some aerobic exercises. It will surely help you out.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Harsh Swarup </s>
