Having Pain Directly Below Sternum. Having Burping. Ultrasound Normal. Cure?
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
Well possibilities are costochondritis (rib tip cartilage swelling) or functional abdominal pain syndorme. Unlikely that costochondiritis stays on for years.
First thing is need not worry, alley anxiety.
Avoid soda as it increases bloat.
Avoid coffee, eat on time, take regular atleast 7 hrs sleep.
Ensure you do not sleep 2 hrs after meals.
Exercise regularly.
Also do not feel for the lump or palpate the pain site continuously as it may worsen symptoms.
You may need to take mild anxiolytic if still symptoms persist after consulting your gastroenterologist to get rid of the symptoms.
Do not worry.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery..
Happy to help...
