Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Xyphoid process is not the location of the intestines. Your symptoms may be due to the following conditions: anxiety or panic disorder, cardiac condition or stomach issue. Your medical history and a thorough physical exam are required for an accurate diagnosis. Antispasmodic medication like Buscopan is less likely helpful. Please see your doctor if symptoms still bother you too much.
