A member asked:
Soft spot just below my sternum hurts feels like a ball when i burp it kinda makes it feel better..been doing this for couple of weeks ..what is it?

Stomach : The location you describe is generally going to be the stomach. This is a location at or below where the swallow tube enters the stomach. If a burp decreases its bulge you may notice this change. Discomfort in this area often relates to reflux irritation.
