I have battled acid reflux for a few years. Even though I take a prescription for it, from time to time, I feel an ache under my ribs. At my age, I start wandering if it's my spleen being pushed by a fatty liver. I feel the dull ache below my heart and at the bottom of my left rib cage. My Doctor did tell me there is a nerve that shoots off to the left of the area where the esophagus meets the stomach. He even said that it can go almost to the arm. I did the STUPID mistake of playing Google Doctor last night because aside from Reflux, I could have a bad spleen, fatty liver and near death!!! LOL
It's actually better than yesterday and yesterday was better than the day before. But still, I do NOT like any aches in my abdomin / chest.
