I have had what feels like a dull ache in the area of my diaphragm for over 2 months now. I have has an upper endoscopy, and an ultrasound. I have also been treated for over productive stomach acid. What could be causing this? I hurts when I sit down and its hard for me to take a breath with out pain when sitting. This ache comes and goes.

Hello,

The symptoms can be related to over productive stomach acid.

I recommend using Omeprazole to reduce the acidity of the stomach.

I also recommend getting an X-ray done to exclude a rib fracture.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
