I have been having this pain in the middle of my rib cafe directly in between my boobs for a couple days now. It only happens in the morning when i'm drinking my Protein shake. I don't usually eat Breakfast, i do the shake instead and this pain comes and it knocks me over. I usually have to walk or rock back and forth until it disappears. Then i have to eat something to prevent it from coming back.

I just had a cat scan and everything done a few days ago and i don't have any issues with my gallbladder or leaking... it just this pain appears. I don't know if it is an air pocket or what it is but man it is painful.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Are you taking an anti-acid?? It could heartburn or reflux.

Yes I take prescription pepcid twice a day which is supposed to help.

Maybe i don't take it early enough?

Try taking it first thing in the morning at least 30 mins to an hour before you eat.

Yes definitely sounds like heartburn/reflux/gas pains. With all acid meds you need to take at least 30 mins before eating. The rocking movement is always helpful and gravity works too so a walk will help. Another idea, since it's bothering you first thing in the morning, is to look into a pillow wedge. Maybe the wedge will help prevent everything from building up overnight and you can at least get going in the morning without thinking about it.

IF you're not already doing this, be sure to drink the Protein shake slowly.
