What Causes Right Chest And Ribcage Pain With Flatulence?

Hi, I am 22 years old and I have lost 50 pounds on the HCG diet in the last 70 days, 5 days ago I was having some chest pain for about 3 hours, than today I had the same thing could it be from eating broccoli? It sure feels like a gas problem because I feel like I just want to belch all the time. Also when I bend over sometimes I get a small pain on the right side of my chest on my rib cage? Any answers?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of acute gastritis and gaseous bloating is more likely.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily.
4. Go for walking after meals.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent gas reflux.
6. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
