What Does Pressure Below The Sternum Indicate?
After eating, I feel pressure near/just below my breastbone and when I press on the affected area, it is very tender. I also experience the following: gas pressure, bloating, indigestion, pain in abdomen, nausea and oftentimes heartburn. It does not seem to be triggered by specific foods. What am I experiencing and how should I treat it besides taking Prilosec and Gas-X?
