Question : I have a deep ache with nausea in my upper belly under my ribs. It is more sever after eating or bending over. It's not sharp but feels as if someone hit me in the gut.

Brief Answer:
possible gallstones

Detailed Answer:

Hi and welcome to HCM.

These symptoms may indicate gallbladders stones if pain is located under the right rib arch and in cases of left sided pain it may indicate gastritis or enlarged spleen.

You need to do abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation or gastroscopy if necessary.

Any further queries in this regard is most welcome.

Wish you good health.
Regards
