I was just doing some more research as
usual. I have my appointment tomorrow
with a gi doctor, and even though i'm
scared, i'm anxious to resolve this
nonstop issue.
I was just reading up on gerd, and found
out some very important information. I
can't relate to all of the symptoms, but I
did find some very important information
on gerd and peptic ulcers.
My symptoms include left-sided rib pain
right below and beside my left breast.
The pain radiates around the left side to
my upper back area. Every now and then I
experience heartburn, and the feeling that
my food is coming back up my esophogus.
According to the website I just looked at
i'm thinking I might have a peptic
ulcer....Most of the symptoms relate, and
unfortunately i've been taking a lot of
ibuprofen to get rid of the pain, and it
talks about cigarettes, alcohol
consumption, caffeine (and esp. Coffee),
and the heavy usage of nsaids being the
result to such ulcers...Along with many
other reasons such as stress, and so
forth.
I just thought I would pass this
information along to anyone who is
interested or experiencing the same
problems.
I will keep everyone informed as I go
along, because this website has been a
special help.

Hiya!
I get these pains alot aswell, I also get
it inbetween my ribs, its like a shooting
pain and sometimes a tight pinching pain.
The pain sometimes goes right through me
near my heart and is really freaking me
out.. Sometimes I worry it could be a
heart problem? Im not sure what other
problems it could be.
I have a constant discomfort under my left
rib like there's something in there.
Wish I knew what was wrong the doc hasnt
done any tests because I suffer from
anxiety so they put it down to that :(
