It also sounds very like gall bladder. Not a doc. I used to wake up in
the middle of the night with SHARP pain right between my breasts, on the
bone. The only way I could describe it was a 400lb woman wearing 6-inch
heals, standing on my breast bone using one heel. I would get
sweats/chills and eventually just could not continue like that anymore.
Turned out that I had gallstones (1-inch in size). As soon as I had my
gall bladder taken out, I never had another attack.
