Pain Starts Under Rib Area, Radiates To Mid Back, Gets Pain Only After Eating. Reason?

Hi, I have a question in regards to a pain i get after eating. This pain starts under the right rib area and radiates to my mid back. It is a agonizing pain that i cannot stand nor sit for a long time. Only minutes.. I have been observing this symptom over the past week and noticed it ONLY happens when i eat, when there is something in the stomach. As long as my stomach remains empty i do not get this and am able to go with my daily duties. I have tried to raise my right arm over my head in hopes to relieve some of the pain and does me no good.I know I cannot go too long without eating just to go about my day. Does this seem serious?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I am suspecting gastric ulcer as food aggravates pain in such patients. So these patients avoid eating as much as possible which further worsens the gastritis and also causes loss of weight in the patient. I suggest you take Tab Pantop 40 mg before food twice daily for two days. Take fluid diet. Drink lots of water. If pain does not get relieved get a endoscopy done to rule out gastric pathology. Thanks.
