Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Sternum Area
I have been having what I think is heart burn. It just below the sternum and happens when I eat and drink. If I drink something very cold it gets worse. I had bariatric (sleeve) in 2011 and never had heart burn prior to tHe surgery. Tums seems to help but I m w during if I have an ulcer.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux.
I suggest using an antacid such as Maloox.
I also suggest using a PPI medication such as Omeprazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
