Suggest Remedy For Pressure Under Ribs
My boyfriend has had pressure under his ribs for two days. He said it feels like a gas bubble and it makes it hard to breath. Burping doesn't help. Every time he burps it hurts from the center of his chest to his right shoulder. He said he's had a gas bubble there before but it was never this bad.
