A member asked:

Im having severe upper stomach pain at the end of my sternum and across both sides it hurts to move, breathe and its sore to.the touch. what is it?

Not clear: It is not clearly an ulcer, and can represent a number of different conditions. I agree with a possible GI consultation but see your primary physician. You will need a chest xray and possibly other imaging tests. Cardiac and pulmonary disease can also show up this way. A good history and physical will help narrow down the issues.
