I am experiencing indigestion for a number of months. A burning feeling just below the chest but above the ribs. I believe this area is referred to as the sternum. I can press the area with one finger. I experience the burning and a lot of burping and gas. I had this same feeling several years ago to the point one night that I was having severe pain and though it was a heart problem. I was taken by ambulance to Hospital and checked out but nothing was found heart related. I remember burping a lot that night as well and I think the pain was mistaken for heart but all testing showed no problems with heart. Could this be a ulcer?
