pain under rib cage
I am having pain under the center of my breast bone, it feels like a burning pain and if I eat crackers it goes away temorarily well its justs feels better. What are the signs of an ulcer. If I eat alittle something it subsides but it comes back a few minutes later. Any advice appreciated. Almost feels like acid reflux but no gas or anything like that.
thank you

And first, do you have any history of heart disease or does the pain radiate? Let's not ignore something potentially far more serious!
Wishing you the best,
Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? I say, what difference does it make--I paid for a full glass,so either way I am getting jipped!!!
thank you all for your responses. I will try the prevacid. The ADHD med does curb my appetite but not the way to go. I think it is making me have a cough which I think is a tic just started to notice it because it is becoming an aggravation more than anything. The side effects is tics not sure if this is a form of a tic but thinking it is. If my pain persists I will call my surgeon and see what he says. Merry Christmas to everyone. Have a safe and happy New year!!

I had the same thing for several years and dealt with it using Prilosec. HOWEVER! From my pre-op blood tests last month, it was discovered that I had the H Pylori infection. I think that is correct spelling. Anyway, it is an infection of the gastric system that required agressive antibiotic treatment. Don't know how I got it, but now that it is gone, I no longer have the symptoms you describe, and I can now live without Prilosec. Hope this helps.
