Suggest Treatment For Recurring Pain In Stomach
I am having reoccurring pain in my upper stomach - just below where my ribs meet under my breast. It feels like someone has punched me in the area. It intensifies when I have not eaten a meal in a while and the area of pain is about the size of an orange or maybe a grapefruit. It will go away for days at a time and then strike up again with out any notice. I have taken antacids no change. I am healthy 45 female not over weight, do exercise, which does upset the problem area. Any suggestions? This has now been ongoing for approximately 7 months.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having gastritis or hyper acidity giving this problem.
Some time this type of pain may occur in some heart ailment like angina or coronary insufficiency.
Go for EKG to rule out any heart ailment.
Take Omeprazole medicine for some time.
Avoid fried, spicy and junk food.
Avoid exertion.
Go for light exercise like slow walking, swimming.
Ok and take care.
