What to do if i'm having abdominal pain below (below not behind) my sternum and it's quite painful.?

See a doctor: In general, abdominal pain can be caused by way too many things to advise you on what to do for your present condition. However, the pain you describe could be related to gastritis, peptic ulcers, chronic infection w/ H. Pylori, among other things. You need to see your doctor who will take a complete history and perform a physical exam before recommending any diagnostic and/or treatment plans.
