What Causes Pain On Right Side Under Rib Cage And Heartburn?
I have pain on the right side under rib cage. I also have heartburn when I wake up in the morning. A few times (3-4) over the past 9 months I thought my chest was going to blow up. Taking several Tums stopped the pain. Is this my gallbladder acting up?

Hello,
It could be due to conditions like severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux.
As a first line management you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
