Xyphoid process
I have started feeling my xyphoid process since more than year now.. I am feeling it when touched.. that part does not have any pain ... I am diabetic since year now .. i have only problem is when I sit at ground , I feel stomach tight.. I never experienced this earlier .. I have been watching xyphoid process since year .. it is same feel and doesn't have any sort of pain .. I also consulted gastrologist and done Upper GI endoscopy .. nothing wrong in there .. that doctor told it is common and you are thinking too much ... I am not thinking too much .. I have just 2 concern 1. Why I started feeling my xyphoid?? When I take entire my stomach inside I feel it and I see it.
2. Why I feel tight /discomfort in stomach when I sit ground level ???
1. Feeling the xiphoid process is normal. Almost everyone can feel it and there is nothing to worry.
2. Feeling of discomfort while sitting down may be due to bloating or if you have gained weight recently.
