Hello,
1. Is there any burning sensation just below or under your ribs?
2. Is there any pain in the left shoulder?
3. Is there any pain while breathing in and breathing out?
4. Is the vomit sour in taste?
These answers are crucial to the diagnosis. Although, I can suggest you some tests:
1. Chest X-Ray
2. Physical examination of the ribs is needed
3. Blood Routine Test
4. ECG
5. Liver Function test
There are many things to inspect. But these are some primaries you need to do. The answers to the above questions and the result of the diagnostic tests are crucial in planning the treatment.
Meanwhile, you can do:
1. Burning stomach, take an antacid
2. Too much rib pain, take paracetamol
3. Drink plenty of water
4. Try to do the test as soon as possible
5. Do not go for oily and spicy diets
6. No alcohol and smoking
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
