Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history About your husband having salmon patties which in a fridge for some time, developing pain in upper middle abdomen below sternum.
Tools some ginger tea and feeling like salmon burning.
The most probable cause is gastritis.
I would advise him the following:
To take a PPI like Omeprazole, antacid and chilled milk or so.
This will probably alleviate his symptoms, continue for a few weeks.
If this is a recurrent problem or does not resolve completely, go for upper GI endoscopy and an opinion of a Gastroenterologist.
