I am distraught now... please help....

The past three days I have been having a gnawing "hunger" type pain where my sternum (below middle of breasts) is. It feels like I am hungry and when I eat it goes away for 20 min. or so but then comes back. Sometimes it is sharp. I am only 1 month post op and had a hard time with this surgery. I have read through the library over and over and wonder if I have an ulcer or staple line disruption. I can't bare to go through another surgery after all I went through. What can this be?? I have not thrown up once and have never overeaten although I have drunk water a bit too fast. I need help.
