What Can Cause Pain In Lower Tip Of My Sternum, Bloating, Abdominal Discomfort?
I am experiencing pain after swallowing just below and slightly right of the lower tip of my sternum, bloating, abdominal discomfort and the smell of burnt garlic in my feces during a bowel movement. I read that I may have ingested a poison and I am concerned, do I have a reason to worry?
