Has anyone felt pressure just below the center of the rib cage?

For the last few days, I have felt pressure just below.. I guess it's my sternum.....it doesn't hurt really... just a pressure, and my appetite has really fallen off.... last night I had to eat because I got the shakes from not eating.....has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

Yes, I had the same symptoms and was diagnosed with an ulcer. I recommend starting Prilosec and calling your doctor first thing on Monday.

Do you know if this is a common thing that happens when we are further out? Any idea what may have caused it?

Thanks

Yep, totally common. I had my first one last year and almost a year later I got another one. I never had pain, mostly pressure and lots of gas pains. I have no idea what causes it, only that it's very common.

I don't have RNY, but I have a pressure every morning when I wake up on my sternum... I couldn't figure out why... but I HAVE noticed that as I've cut down on eating close to bed time, the pain went away.
