Hi for the last few months I have been getting a pain below my ribs and above my belly button almost at the end of pipe that goes down between ribs it can be really sore at times but only comes now and again and can come at any time of the day. Would it be cancer. I am a healthy person and never sick I also last few weeks have had a tickle in my throat that causes me to cough and sometimes the pain I get in stomach can lead to tightness in chest. Please help thank you
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per your complain you have problem of stomach pain and tightness of chest that may be because of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Gastroesophageal reflux disease cause burning sensation in chest area and other abdominal problems. Detail history and physical examination give exact idea. Endoscopy examination can be done for further diagnosis. Gastritis also cause stomach pain and burning sensation. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Start a treatment according to the cause. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Rachana Goswami
