What is this pain?

After I eat, (it doesn't matter what) I get pain (6 on a scale of 10) under my right ribcage, and it radiates up under my right arm.  My stomach, on teh right side as well but more generalized, will also hurt.  The pain only occurs if I bend over (like when you garden or pull weeds) for awhile after I eat.  It is consistent pain, and will sometimes be followed by gas but not always.  It will eventually alleviate itself.  What is this?

I get the same problem.  Keep up with the nexium.  Aciphex is the best though.  If you can get it prescribed.  

I keep thinking i am having heart attacks.  Docs are saying GERD and Anxiety issues.  I constantly burp and pass gas for hours after meals.  I am soo sick of feeling like this everyday.  

Do you have any other symptoms?

Thanks and good luck!

i have almost that same problem.  i was diagnosed with gerd three months ago i was taking nexium for it and it seemed to have cleared it all up.... then all at once it came back but now i get the shakey, lightheaded, feeling,   pain under my left rib cage, fullness in the middle of my chest, lump feeling in my throat, and sometimes that acidy taste when i burp in my throat and mouth, along with the heavy chest feeling and racing heart.  i take zantac 150 now maybe itll work. idk... just wondering if anyone else feels this way or am i going crazy or is it something else.  also i have lots of gas that seems to come and go from time to time.  i hope im not the only one feeling like this.
