Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It To Be Concerned About The Pain In The Upper Stomach And Rib Cage?
I was doing yard work about a week and a half ago and felt discomfort moving large rocks. The next day I had a pain in my left upper stomach to the right of my upper left rib cage. Then a few days labor and currently, I have noticed the pain move to the left of my belly button. I also have felt gas noises and bubbles on the left side now which I have never noticed in my life before. This is not a sharp pain and it seems to get agitated even more upon eating
As per your symptoms there is possibility of gastritis.
I will advise to start antacids [proton pump inhibitors like] rabeprazole 20 mg twice a day. Sucralfate will protect gastric mucosa and will give protective covering. Gases formation can be reduced by eating easily digestible food, stop non veg, drink plenty of water.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
