Thanks anyways Harry, Some people say it might just be an ulser. Lately I have been stressed and very mad about things so I have been a little depressed.

Could also be a hyatal hyrnia (spelling?). Same thing here. Thats what I have. Had an Endoscopy and a Colonoscopy.

Hey Tink so what exactly is that and is it really bad? I also been having pains where my rib cage is.

A hiatal hernia is when the lining of the stomach moves up into the diaphragm. Also besides chest pain, sometimes there can be difficulty breathing. It is not serious if treated properly. Small meals, avoid caffeine and alcohol. I currently take Nexium to help. Its a form of heartburn. But to me it doesn't feel like that. The best way to explain is chest pain, sometimes mild, sometimes very sharp. Do a search on the internet. Also if it persists, go to your doc to rule out anything major.
