<s>[INST] I don't get sick often...and it is because of this... that sometimes I worry when something unexpected happens in my body.   This morning I felt {9am} a slightly sharp vertical pain from my stomach area...(coming from about one (1) inch away - to the right - from the center area between my belly button and the bottom of my sternum...I thought I'd drink some tea, and it eventually went away. It is now about 4pm...finished eating about an hour ago, and the pain came back!I though I get an opinion...ty. Rob [/INST] Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It looks like you have indigestion problem or GERD. You can take omeprazole for that if available over the counter. Or try not to take meal on full stomach, and don't take liquids after meal. When you take your meal,  you should not lie down immediately and have a little walk of at least 40 steps. There is nothing much to worry about. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Imran Zeb </s>
