Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have pain under ribs along with nausea and you gained weight weight recently . Well there can be many reason for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms can probably occur due to two reasons :-

- Firstly it can occur due to cardiac problem like angina .

- Secondly the symptoms can occur due to acid reflux disease . Due to dysfunction of esophageal sphincter .

I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ECG, TMT , complete blood profile and troponin t test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe isosorbid nitrate , aspirin , sedative and betablockers . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist if he/she find problem to be related with acid reflux . For now avoid eating spicy and heavy food and take proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
