Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m 22 female, and have pain in my xiphoid process. There is no bumb, just tenderness and sometimes it feels distended or tight (as if I have rock hard abs there. which I don t). My pulse is usually always high (90s-100s) and I get dehydrated often. Just came back from the doctors, but still waiting on the bloodwork. Suggestions on what it could be?
it can be due to some injury or muscle pull.Sometime it can be due to gastritis also.but i d not think that it can be due to some problem of the bone so i would recommend you to not to be worried about this,
