What Causes Stomach Discomfort And Swelling Between The Breasts?
Hello, I have had this annoying feeling in my stomach for over 6 months now. it s rite in the middle of my ribs between my breast. It s puffy some days and some days not so much. Some nights I have like this feeling like soda bubbles in my throat. I take a tablespoon of mustard and some time is relieved. I also use Pepcid or no name brand antacid but it s only temporary. My mother pasted away of stomach cancer so I was wondering if i should get this checked AGAIN.

you have symptoms of gastritis and reflux. As you have family history of stomach cancer and you have been taking antacids without relief, you should see gastroenterologist and do upper GI endoscopy and test for H.Pylori. If H.Pylori is positive , doctor will give you antibiotic treatment for 2 weeks to eradicate bacteria.
