Acid Reflux With Nausea. Pain In Upper Right Rib And Back Ache. Is It Due To Gas Build Up?
Hello
I have dull pain in my right upper side under my rib. It has hurt since yesterday at 5 pm and is tender to touch. It hurts more when i'm lying down or bending or using my abdomen to sit up. It is not excruciating pain, but on occasions, my back aches in the middle upper part. I also had severe acid reflux yesterday along with a lot of bloating and nausea but no vomitting. Do you think this is related to gas buildup? Does it sound like a pulled muscle?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the rib and upper back like you have described could be due to gas, indigestion and bloating. Gastritis can also cause such a pain sometimes. Acid reducing drugs and small frequent meals will help you.
