Hi, I had a hotdog for lunch yesterday and took a nap. When I woke up I started having random pain (kind of sharp) at bottom of sternum and I burped it went away. This has continued today, randomly but every time I have pain burping and relief always follows. I have been diagnosed in the past with gastritis, GERD, IBS, and Diverticulosis. I figured it was simply indigestion but had no heartburn. Reminds me of the symptoms I had from laparoscopic surgery for removal of gall bladder a few years ago.
