Hello doctor! Currently I am working in Brunei. I often have reflux and pain in the left area of the upper abdomen, below the breastbone. When I sit down, I feel a burning pain in my abdomen and a sharp pain. This time I felt more pain, moving from the left upper abdomen to the right upper abdomen and down through the navel. Doctor let me ask, I often have reflux and pain in the left upper abdomen below the sternum is a sign of what disease? Looking forward to your advice, thank you!
