Feeling in between ribs and under breastbone

I keep on getting an uncomfortable feeling and a lot of tenderness in between my ribs and underneath my breastbone and when I press it a minute or so later I burp, any ideas on what this may be?

It could just be wind in your stomach, but it is worth seeing a doctor just to check it is nothing else. I get pain here too and is often accompanied with nausea and indigestion. I have just been told I have a gallstone, Get it checked out but I’m sure it’s just trapped wind.

I get this too! Sometimes when I burp I get a wave of nausea too, such a horrible uncomfortable feeling. Please let me know if you figure out what it is!
