What Could Be Wrong When You Get Pain Under Your Right Breast And Nausea After Eating Too Much Food At Night?
Some nights I get pain under my right breast and a bit in my chest. I find the problem occurs when I eat too much, or eat too much at once. The problem only comes at night, and disappears in the morning. I can t sleep because of the pain. Sometimes I feel nauseous, and sometimes I find vomiting helps, but not always. Painkillers and pepto bismol don t work. I am very young, and don t have any gallbladder issues. What is wrong?

Hello,
Your symptoms appears to be due to hyper-acidity.
Hyper-acidity is a condition in which there is excess formation of acid in stomach and it leads to burning sensation in stomach and chest along with belching and discomfort.Heavy meals can cause it. Certain foods that are seen to common cause hyper-acidity are spicy and heavy meals, frizzy drinks, chocolates, onion and garlic, citrus foods and fruits, tea and coffee, alcohol etc.
Other causes can be an excess intake of spices, alcoholism, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, side effects of medications, stress etc.
I would suggest you to start taking Proton Pump Inhibitors like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole, antacids like Milk of Magnesia can be taken half an hour before meals. You should take more of probiotics like Yogurt in the diet. Drink plenty of water. You should avoid large meals and take small frequent meals. You should take walks after meals. Sleep with the head slightly raised as compared to feet.
