What Causes Sharp Pain Under The Rib Cage Post Food Intake?
Sharp Pain on left side under rib cage after eating and then lying down. Only after dinner (only meal I eat very much). Pain sometimes goes up to shoulder. Feels better if I stand up. Hurts sleeping at night sometimes (sharp pain). I already take medicine for acid reflux; seems like it is not gas or acid reflux (eating less and not too spicy foods because of the pain).

Hello,
Maybe you have hiatal hernia, to confirm the diagnose you should do some examinations like X-ray or upper endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
