A member asked:

What causes a quick and small chest pain near breast bone after eating and bending over?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Costochrondritis ?: This may be from a "sprained" rib cage or possibly reflux. If this has been present for more than 2 weeks. consult your doctor. Have you been doing very strenuous abdominal exercise or sustained any trauma to the area recently? Have you had significant weight gain ?
