What Causes Pain Between Rib Cage, Smelly Gas And Tender Breasts?
between my rib cage, like where my esaphagus is, it hurts and is very uncomfortable. I am on medication for dispesia but it is not helping. I also have been having very smelly gas lately and that does not usually happen. Also my breasts are very very tender. Are any of these symptoms linked to each other?

Hello welcome to HCM. First of all i want to know whether you met with an accident. or You fell down hurting. If so there could be fracture of ribs . if its severe type of fracture then there could have been associated breathing problem. Next possibility is of Peptic ulcer disease or Hiatal hernia. You already said you have it. You take vigourous treatement . Also take fresh vegetable juices in the early morning which also relieves you from acidity.Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper GI endoscopy. Avoid eating or drinking for two hours before you lie down. To help control the stomach acid, one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them, or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods. Please consult physician. If you are not relieved after treatement then please get one plain abdominal scan which will rule out other causes like gall stone, pancreatitis, kidney stones and show it to surgeon for further treatement. He will guide you. Take care
