What Does Severe Pain Below The Sternum Indicate?
I just left the ER with severe pain below my sternum. I thought it was my heart and/or lungs, but discovered a normal EKG and chest X-ray. I still have severe pain below my sternum and my blood work was: U:C of 30 Creatinine of 0.44mg/dL Carbon Dioxide level 21mmo/L Alanine Aminotransferase 66unit/L Aspartate Aminotransferase 51unit/L Am I oK?

Hello,
I think you might be having symptoms of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).
Since, you say you have severe Epigastric pain and if you control gastritis reflex of the contents would be reduced and the pain would subside.
Start tablet Ranitidine, Pantoprazole or Esomeprazole before food for 15 days and the symptoms will subside soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
