A member asked:

I've had sternum burning and itching the whole two months i've had gastritis. my stomach feels better but my sternum still burns sometimes.suggestion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sternum burning: I doubt that your "sternum is burning". It could be the acid reflux. Go see your doctor to get examined and proper RX.
