Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Severe Throbbing Pain In The Bottom Of The Sternum. Pain Worse After Drinking Water. Hernia Suspected. Need Immediate Care?
My doctor has sent of a request for a surgeon RE: suspected hernia (in the same region as my gallbladder). An ultra sound came up clear of anything in my upper abdomen. The last few days, every time I eat I've been having throbbing pains all across my diaphragm and at the bottom of my sternum. They feel like electricity spreading across my upper gastro/lower ribcage. This morning, the pains became worse after just drinking some water.
Should I go to the out of hours clinic/A&E or wait and call my doctor in the morning?
