Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain In The Sternum Area After Eating Certain Food?
Yes. I sometimes have a pain after I eat certain things in between my breast kind of at the start of the middle of my rib cage and it is tender there if I press in all the time. I had a toss salad for lunch and it started . I passed now. I just had a physical and my prime care dr. didn t really know what it could be. Said not a location for some things hernia or gal bladder?
From what I can make of your symptoms, it is most likely esophageal spasm. Do you generally eat in a hurry? I would advise you to eat your food slowly after chewing properly. Also, how long have the symptoms persisted for?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Raunak Saha
