Q: burning right below my breast bone untill I eat something
Hi,
You might want your doctor to investigate for a stomach ulcer. There are different kinds, some hurt/burn when your stomach is empty and some when you eat and your stomach fills up. Ulcers sometimes heal on their own, but most require a course of meds and some lifestyle changes. I hope this helps.

yes I remembered I've been taking aspirin with wine at night for headaches and that is a no no when you have an ulcer.
