What Causes Pain Just Below Sternum When I Eat?

Pain just below the sternum. It comes on when I am eating and becomes so painful that I nearly throw up. I awake in the middle of the night if I, in my sleep, turn over on my side. I do have occasional lapses and think I ve recovered, but the least stress brings it back up. It is tender to the touch. If I put pressure on it, it immediately begins to hurt, eating or no.
