Reason For Pain In Upper Abdomen Which Is Not Related To Acid Reflux And Indigestion
My stomach feels as if I havebeen punched. It comes and goes...doesnt seem to be related to foods. It's the upper abdomen...right below the breast bone. No acid reflux or indigestion at all. Pain is in the middle..not to left or right. No other symptoms. Lasts about an hour usually..today about 2 hours now. No bowel problems, never have had anything lke this.

Hi. This can be due to inflammation of a very small bone called Xiphisternum . Local tenderness can be elucidated on pressure just bellow the sternum( breast bone) . Another likelihood is a small hernia which entraps the fat and can cause the similar pain.
