Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My sternum was broke 2 hears ago as a result of a car accident. Since then it has hurt on and off. However today, when I drank coffee it hurt severely. I thought it might be a freak thing but tried hot tea with same effect. Any suggestions as to what maybe the cause?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it may not be related with the past history of accident but it could be due to hyperacidity because coffee could increase the acid secretion then cause refluxes you can try Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day hope this information helps.
