How To Heal The Stabbing Pain In The Abdomen For A Person Under Processus Xiphoideus?

Hi,
I have a left sided stomach pain, just under the processus xiphoideus. When the pain starts it feels like stabbing pain and it usually radiates under the scapulae. The pain usually starts when I sit or stand in same position. When I palpate the area of pain on my stomach, it cracks and pops under my fingers. It feels like something is under my ribcage. Usually I find relief from lying in bed. Also when i stand and rotate my upper body i hear a wierd sound wheezing in my throat.

Hi.
This is a classical symptom of an hernia. ( cracks and pops under fingers), relief with lying down, radiation to under the scapulae due to stretched nerve.
Get this checked by a Surgeon , confirm it and get operated if need be.
