Tenderness And Pain In Abdomen When Coughing, Yawning And Taking Deep Breathe, Feeling Of Sore Muscles. Urine, Stools Normal. Suggest
I have a pain in my abdominal area. It's in the center (not left or right side at all). It hurts to take a deep breath/cough/yawn and is quite tender to the touch. It problem starts at about the end of the sternum (is that the bone in the rib cage?) and is about the length of 3 fingers starting from the top to the bottle. It feels like a sore muscle (as if I had been doing a lot of crunches but hadn't). I don't have any symptoms related to digestive issues (urine is normal, stools are normal, no gas, etc). I just lost my job so I'm in the process of getting my own insurance. i am trying to see if this is something to be concerned with. It started yesterday. The pain has been consistent since I started yesterday.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned that pain is just below the sternum i.e. pain in the epigastrium region.
The reason of this pain may be due to stress ( tension) of job.
Hyper acidity develops more acid secretion and this causes pain and there develops gastritis.
So don't worry and don't take tension.
Take antacid syrup ( oxetacaine with it) , you will get quick relief.
Still ,no relief then take proton pump inhibitor after consultation of your doctor.
Good luck.
