Hmm....new "stinging" sensation...huh? Lol.

Just wondering if anyone else experiences a stinging sensation not long after ingesting food? About 3-5 minutes after I eat I feel a stinging sensation just below my rib cage, but right in the middle. Pardon my ignorance in anatomy, but what is in that location? Is there intestine there or is the stomach there? Can't see specialist until late February (gotta love the Canadian medical system). So is this a normal thing or should I hound my specialists office until I annoy them into booking me in sooner?

Ouch. I am sorry.

Ya I have no idea what the heck. Lol. It's not all that painful, but I defintly notice it. What's located there? It's about 2 inches below my sternum. Any ideas?

Have you eaten any rich foods? Gallbladder. Or maybe hiatal hernia?

Just had Turkey dinner. So had turkey and a couple of buns. It happens no matter what I eat (I think lol) it also happens if I don't sit with good posture....may come out of this with impeccable posture. Lol.

My stinging is lower down and happens sometimes when coughing or laughing.

Just looked into the gallbladder and I feel my stinging is too central for that. Also, is not really all that painful, it's not comfortable, but it's more like someone touching a sunburn lightly. You know...more annoying than painful. At this point anyway. Suppose it could be a hiatal hernia. Maybe will start calling the specialist after the holidays and harass until I get in lol.
