I'm not even sure if its my stomach.

It may sound silly but am I having mini heart attacks? I ask because for about as long as I can remember I would get these sudden sharp pains that wouldn't last very long in my chest near my heart.

But it is a concern of mine, I've gone to the hospital & asked the doctor what could it be and to no avail....any suggestions?
t noticed anything unusual, but when I am standing my upper right stomach sticks out a bit further than the left side. When I push on it it is kind of hard. All three doctors didn't notice any inflammation of my liver... Any ideas of what it could be? P.S. I have had this OCD thing for the past 2 and a half months where I continuously poke that area :S. Maybe I tightened or strengthened the muscles? LOL. It feels a bit harder on the right side than the as well..
Every so often feel these little pains in the upper part of my stomach (under my sternum) then for the next 3 days or so I am so sore all over from the upper part of my stomach to the lower abdomen right above my pubic line.

I have wondered if it could be from constipation or maybe in my colon or intestines because it didn't show on a CT scan.
I've had this strange pain right up under my sternum for a long time now. It comes and it goes, but when it comes its unbearable. It's as if someone has pushed their fingertips right at the joining of both rib cages and hooked up and under them. It's a feeling of incredible pressure and pain. I guess if you've ever slept on your stomach and your stomach starts to hurt the you'd multiply that by 15.
they say they think my heart is fine. And yet, I continue to have pinch like feelings between my left chest and sternum, nausia sensations that last 4 or 5 seconds a few times a day.........My blood perssure is always 125/low 80's. I use to feel normal......but since this past June, everything changed. I need some help......
I too have been having pains in the sternum area for a long time,. its very scary i know man. its hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing the pain. acid reflux? gas? anxiety? theres many things that can cause the problem.
You may even have LOW stomach acid. I would try a pill of beatine HCL with food, if it causes you a warm sensation in stomach that means you do not have low stomach acid, but if it doesnt, then you have low stomach acid.
