A member asked:

I sometimes have a burning in stomach below my breast bone a little to the left. sometimes it feels like a pulled muscle. could this be a hernia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Enrique Montana answered

Unlikely: Hernia in the location will present with a bulging mass rather than burning pain
