Hi, I have being having mild pain and bloating under my sternum (breastbone) for a few months now. It comes and goes but when it comes I get really stressed and it makes it worse. What's weird is when I am lying down i rarely get the symptoms. There are occasions when i wake up in the middle of the night I can feel some pain. I get flair ups where the gastritis is worse for a few days and this is generally when I have had a lot of alcohol. Does anyone else think stress is there main course and does anyone's symptoms lesson when your lying down? Thanks
could be one of many factors…i would visit gp first and move from there
