I have a deep pain right where my breastbone ends. its like a wave that comes and goes. i feel it tense up, grow, get very tight, and then release.

The wave...: If one's belly is slim, catch the wave... on video... and show the doctor. A wave may be the intestines contracting while trying to push stuff along. The question is whether or not there is a partial blockage at the end of the wave, because a blockage would lead to strong waves that we can see or feel. Normal mild contractions that move our meals along are not big enough for us to notice.
