Hi Arnie.

Thanks for the reply. No, not on meds but was on propranolol some time ago. I recall that when I was it played havoc with my digestion too.

I really don't know what's going on as it comes and goes. It completely goes when I'm moving about and being kind of busy with things but when I sit and stop, it feels like it slowly comes back. To be honest, I've been straining and forcing burps out so much today (although they have been tiny) that I'm beginning to make my midriff even more sore.

I'm trying really, really hard not to let my mind run away with me but I just don't believe that this couldn't be down simply to anxiety could it?

I hope you're feeling better soon mate and that your sternum discomfort eases quickly.
