A member asked:
What would cause a burning type of pain, in upper right abdominal area, just under the breastbone? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epigastric pain: Burning pain in the upper middle abdomen (epigastric pain) is often caused by gastritis or GERD. Can also be caused by a peptic ulcer, pancreatitis and other abdominal conditions. If it is more than mild or does not go away with a few days of antacid medication (eg, omeprazole, ranitidine) please see a doctor for evaluation.
