severe diaphragm or esophagus pain
by Cindym75, May 05, 2008 12:24PM
I have had 4 episodes of severe pain at the center of my rib cage. In all incidences I have had diahhrea a few hours earlier, then I get the pain that starts gradually, and gets severe, and kind of like contractions. I can't lay down, and just try to do controlled breathing to get through it. Generally lasts a few hours. I have had my heart checked, upper GI, colonoscopy, ultrasound, and nothing has shown up. I do not have my gall bladder, or I may think that is the problem. With the last two episodes, I have taken a Vicodin and just gone to sleep. It is gone when I wake up and I generally feel fine, except sore where I had tried rubbing the pain. Thanks.

Pain is under the breastbone or on the right (or left) side of the rib cage? Would you say you have a heartburn, or acid comming into your mouth when you lay down?
