    Yes I have had this especially when I am stressed or not eating right. Have you tried a carbonated beverage or some ginger ale? What has the doctor done for the H.Pylori?

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Hi Molly,

    I'm glad the doc has sourced some antiBs for you - if possible you should try to get them down as then at least you can rule it out :-)

    I get this all the time too. Last night I was lying in bed and I can push down just under the bottom of my ribcage in the middle of my abdomen and it feels like air is stuck there. It's quite uncomfortable.

    This morning my stomach is twitching and that's a bit disconcerting too!!

    It's amazing what anxiety can do to us.

    Hope the AntiBs help.

    Chris

    It's really getting to me now.
    It feels like a massive amount of air stuck just beneath my ribs/top of my stomach.
    It's horrible, I've tried everything, hot water bottles, massaging, cold, gaviscon. It just won't budge once it comes, when I burp my food or acid comes up :( x

    I got this a few years ago when I was going through a really anxious time , Dr put me on a strong course of tabs for dispraxia for about a month and it went away. So if the anti bs dont work maybe sugest it might be wind ( which is a main symptom of anxiety ) and get these tabs. Unfortunatly can't remember what they were called. But they were great xxx

    I'm just seeing this now - 5 years later! Just wanted to say that I had the same thing. I went to the doc because I had heart palpitations - scary. I live in Switzerland where the health service is very expensive, but brilliant. Doc immediately did a chest X-ray and there was a massive ball of air at entrance (or exit - can't remember which) to stomach. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. It was literally bumping against the heart, causing the palpitations. He told me the ball of air was most likely caused by an intolerance to dairy products and advised me to lay off them for 3 weeks. I did - problem vanished.

    Jackie, I'm going to try that! Sounds exactly like my symptoms.

    Have had a similar thing but with the air bubble higher up - near neck/throat, am currently taking Omeprazole for a month as doctor said it was GERD/reflux problem and its 80% better already.
