Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain In The Sternum Area
Hi, I ve had this pain that is a little lower than just between my breasts for a while now. It sometimes radiates to below each breast and is worse when I wear my bra or anything constrictive. I had my gall bladder out in late December, which took care of the stomach issues that I was having and I thought that this pain was related to that, but this pain has not seemed to go away. It seems to get worse when I eat. At it s worst, I can feel it radiate around to the sides of my ribs and sometimes to my back.
The symptoms seem to be related to gastritis which is an inflammation of the stomach lining. I suggest using Omeprazole 20 mg in the morning before breakfast which is a gastro protector. I also suggest using Maalox three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
