What Causes Sharp Spasms Below The Sternum?
The top of my stomach, under my heart and just under the bottom of my sternum has been spasming all day, but worse tonight. It doesn t hurt; it s just uncomfortable. It reminds me of when a baby kicks. I pushed against it and it pops up against my pressure. What can it be?
