What Causes Pain And Discomfort While Sitting In The Slouched Position?

HI, A few months ago i noticed that when I sat in a slouched position (chest leaning over my waist) i had a discomfort in the area of my solar plexus but when i changed my posture this went away. I have been sitting more in this position due to work etc.. and I have been getting this discomfort more often , its like a trapped wind discomfort or mild cramp. It seems to be worse just after food when i sit with bad posture and I think when i get this pain the skin in this area feels tighter (could be psycolgical) Many years agao I used to get reflux ,sometimes it feels like this pain would ease if I was sick and brough up some bile ? Is this bad posture that is twisting my stomach an creating this discomfort ?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, the pain is due to pressure on the abdomen, and if you have associated burning than the chances of GERD are high. Try a course of capsule Omeprazole 20 mg daily empty stomach, in morning once daily for 5 to 7 days and see if that helps, if it dosent, consult you doctor.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
