I am a otherwise healthy 37 year old female with no known medical conditions. Im not currently taking any medications. I have felt like my stomach looked bloated in my upper abdomen the last few days, I have had a non painful twitch in my upper left stomach area below my ribcage on and off. i can actully see my stomach twitching. about an hour ago i started having pain in my sternum, drinking a tall glass of water relieved the pain by 50 - 60%, i took an antacid famatine 20mg about 6 hrs ago, and took some pepto bismo about an hour ago. it hurts to touch my sternum area. i have a dr. app monday. any suggestions to aleviate my discomfort.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

First, try to relax until you see your doctor on Monday. Meanwhile, apart from getting relaxed, I'd suggest to :

- continue taking antacid; avoid taking Famatine until you see your doctor
- try to avoid foods/drinks that would aggravate your symptoms
- having pain in sternum might be due to the muscular-skeletal origin; can take paracetamol for that
- take simethicone for bloating

I think your next periods is near, and all symptoms are due to incoming periods and possibly stress you are going through.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
