Stomach acid/ acid indigestion

[Button1]

As some of you may have read, I've been troubled this week by a burning sensation under my left rib cage, I've had a bit of an upset tummy and some burning in my chest. My anxiety levels are sky high.
Just now I felt the urge to burp and so much stomach acid came up : ( is this linked to the burning under my ribs? What is it?

Could it be acid reflux... go and see your doctor and/or try taking some gaviscon before food and see if that helps. x

There is not much in that area. You could have a muscle strain. Sometimes shingles can present as a burning sensation but usually has a band of redness associated with it. Also you could have a irritated skin nerve from pressure or trauma.
