What Causes Back Pain, Bloating And Feeling Of Pressure Under The Ribs?
My back suddenly started hurting. I was leaning over a table and suddenly felt thus pain..like a cramp and I found myself breathing heavy ..like breathing through the pain. Although there was pain in my back it felt like it was upper under my rib. Ever since then I've had a constant pain of bloating, pain worst in rib area but in upper and lower back. Back hurts when I would bend forward the most..would get a sharp but yet a feeling of pressure under my ribs. Yesterday and today my back hurt and had a terrible bloating feeling. It so uncomfortable.

All these symptoms are gastritis and slow gastric motility causing acid reflux and bloating. A gastroenterologist does an upper GI endoscopy to see if there is any correctable cause of this problem and for symptomatic relief you need to take proton pump inhibitors like rabeprazole along with prokinetic drugs like mosapride.You need to meet a gastroenterologist forproper treatment
