Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Midline dull and distending pain below the xiphoid process can be relieved quickly with heat application or physical therapy. This type of pain may result from conditions such as peptic ulcer, gastric ulcer, or reflux esophagitis. A hospital examination is necessary to determine the exact cause, followed by targeted treatment accordingly.
