I am 20 years old male and since april 2006 i started having acid reflux problems however i take one pill of Pantoprazole 40mg once every 2 weeks and this keeps my acidreflux pretty much in control and i rarely get a heartburn however i always feels some degree of indigestion after eating. I wud also like to say that before April 2006 i was a really healthy person and had never visited a doctor for any thing more serious than Flu and Cold used to workout daily and considered my self really lucky because of this who knew i wud get acid reflux problems

However the reason i am posting today is last week i decided to do some push ups and i have not done any kind of working out except running and swimming since i started having acid reflux problems so after such a long break worked out for 10 minutes mostly i did pushups. The next day i felt dull pain whenever i arched my back slighly just below my ribcage in the center where the stomach is. I didnt give much attention to it as i thought that my upper abbs might be sore and pain will go away in a day or two. Now its been 5 days and the pain even though lessened still hasn't gone away. The problem is i feel no pain in my daily activites even while running and swimming no pain at all (in the area just below the ribcage and above bellybutton) but whenever i arch my back i feel the same dull pain and if i press firmly on the spot it hurts a bit more but as soon as i stop this its all back to normal. My first guess is that i have sore abdomen muscles just in case cud it be a Hiatus Hernia(I must mention that my stomach and daily digestion is fine and as usual some indigestion when ever i eat like it was before this so no change in my digestion and stomach).Plz ne help wud be appreciated.
