A member asked:
I have been having very bad pains. it feels like it's my intestines but it under my sternum. what could it be? i had them before but now it's back.

Substernal pain: certainly not intestinal; however could be cardiac or gastric/liver. I would suggest immediate ER evaluation and have an EKG performed to rule out any heart condition. You really must be examined.
