What Causes Discomfort Beneath Rib Cage?
For the last 5 days, I've had discomfort beneath my rib-cage (directly below the center of the rib-cage)
It almost feels like my tummy is about to let off a huge grumble, as it would do when I?m hungry, but nothing comes of it.
It doesn't hurt as such, but is a constant discomfort. I've pushed, prodded and poked it - No pain, no movement.
What could be affected in this area? What could it be? Gas? Indigestion of some kind?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Hello,the discomfort may be due to
1.Indigestion
2.Strained Muscle
3.Gastritis
4.Gas accumulation
Treatment for gastritis usually involves:
Taking antacids and other drugs to reduce stomach acid.
Avoiding hot and spicy foods.
For gastritis caused by H. pylori infection, your doctor will prescribe a regimen of several antibiotics plus an acid blocking drug (used for heartburn).
Indigestion (dyspepsia) happens to almost everyone from time to time. It may cause stomach discomfort or a feeling of being too full. When severe, it can cause heartburn, bloating, nausea, and vomiting.

1.Drink lot of water

Dont
1.avoid spicy food
2.avoid tea,coffee,
3.avoid alcohol and smoking
Thanks,
