What Causes Severe Pain Below The Sternum?

I just had an episode which I had sever pain below the sternum. Then I got the sweats and weakness. I took some Gavinon,because I have acid reflux disease. A short time later I chewed 3 80 mgs of baby asprin. I laid down.about 10 minutes later I felt fine. I drank plenty of water. I did have a lot of diarrhea. This morning. I took my BP and it was good 124 over 74 pulse 59. I fell OK now but a little tired. What do you think

Hi,

Consult a physician and get an EKG done at the earliest to rule out cardiac causes like angina. Cardiac pain can also present with similar symptoms.
Wishing you good health.
