My sister has been having terrible pains just below her breastbone, after having several tests done at the hospital last week and ruling out a hernia, acid reflux etc. they are now concentrating on blood drawn yesterday again due to elevated liver enzymes, testing ast, alt...they also did a biopsy of her stomach...one tells her one thing and one tells her another, they said she had hpylori bacteria in her stomach and are treating her for that...she is so tired of all the testing and no sound answers just yet.....I felt like she may have an obstruction at the entrance to her stomach causing the pain, which is mostly shortly after she eats, but the pain sometimes wakes her up in the middle of the night, just under her ribs....she is a nervous type person and could be having spasms of some kind.....we are hoping that the biopsy will give her some idea of what is going on with the liver, but she probably has multiple digestive problems....thanks LA
