Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Chest Below Ribcage
I have been getting severe pain right in between my chest where the rib cage is every 2 months. At first I thought it was something I ate but it got worse and worse. Each time I puke all night to the point of dry heaving. After 24 hours symptoms go away but I am so in pain from throwing my guts out I can barely walk. When it starts I can barely catch my full breath.

Usually it is due to reflux of food along with acid from the stomach into the esophagus, reducing weight and avoiding caffeinated drinks usually resolves the issue ,if not than acid suppression therapy is indicated
