Hello Cynthia~It sounds to me like you could have a very bad case of gas, gas can get trapped under the ribs and sometimes even lift them up a little, I know, I speak from experience. Does this happen only when you eat, or do you have it with you most all the time?
I would try taking some activated charcoal, you can get this in a capsule form from a health food store and it literally draws all the gas out of a person, also, try some digestive enzymes, again, obtainable at a health food store. When you drink water, don't drink it super cold, and when you eat, eat smaller amounts and not when you are upset. Good-ole tums helps too, but, if you have a blood sugar issue, be careful, there is sugar in them and that can affect your blood glucose.
If it persists or gets worse, I would see a doctor, preferably an internist, they seem more in tune with the going-ons in our bodies.
Hope this helps.

It could be nothing or could be a hernia... I would wait a few days and if it doesn't go down go to the doctor... I am not a dr. just giving you possibilites, like I said could be nothing or could be serious..
