Sternum pain
I have pain in my center chest. The sternum is painful (mostly all the time)and hurts to push on it. I also have slight stomach and under ribs pain. LOTS of belching and a bloated feeling. Went to ED and they did blood work, ekg, etc. I am under lot of stress at the moment.
This seems to me to be a stomach and or esophogus issue.
I have been taking prevacid for years and never had this problem before. Last night I took a vicodin and it felt much better. Maybe took care of the pain or relaxed me to stop worrying.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community! It sounds like you are self-medicating yourself with vicodin which I would not recommend going. I would recommend you see a doctor and get checked out before you start taking any narcotics for pain/stress.
