pain under bottom middle of ribs
Posted: 07-21-08 18:05pm

it is a sharp throbbing pain, throbs like a spasm. seems to happen randomly though when I burp it also seems to trigger it, also when i sleep i have this pain but when I put my arms up it goes away.

I have pretty severe heartburn that i control with Omeprazole, everything else seems normal there is no vomiting or anything else like that. At first I thought it was just indigestion, but it is now going on the 5th day with no change.

How long you have been experiencing heartburn?
Have you ever had similar stomach pains in the past?

well I have had heartburn for probably 2 years now, I actually went to a clinic they think it might be my diaphragm, I'm supposed to check back in a week or so, they didn't run really any tests other then feeling around my stomach and back area. Not sure If I should keep following this path (no insurance) or go straight to a specialist to avoid all the extra cost.

You can perform Helicobacter pillory test and gastroscopy because you have these symptoms for more than 2 years.
You can consult some gastroenterologist about this.

Well it appears they may have been right, when I was there, their was a medical student that was going into a certain specialty(not sure what it was), she did some massaging and popping of my back and diaphragm areas. The pain is now gone so that seemed to help.
