I I am new to this forum.

I have recently discovered that almost every time I wake up, I have pain in my lower left rib. It feels tight; something is swollen. It goes away once I get up and walk around. This same swelling also happens when I am sitting for a while. Like something pops up in the last left rib middle section.

Some recent background: I had a heart burn episode that I never experienced before. I got my heart condition checked and all was good. Doc said I was young and have strong heart (great EKG, all clear in Xray and nothing in blood work). It could be what I ate; I should get it checked out if it persists.

Not sure if there is any connection to what I am about to say but I thought I might as well put it out there. Yesterday I went out to rake leaves. Did not wear a hat in cold weather. 1/2 hour later my head started to hurt. In 3 hours, I had splitting headache. I had not eaten all day I did not feel like eating. Finally I had light very early dinner. Headache got worse. I threw up 20 minutes later then slept it for 4 hours and it all got better. I also get headache easily when I wear sun glasses that are tight in temple area.

Any suggestions? possible causes? similar symptoms someone may have experienced? I am making appointment with a doc and will go. I have insurance but have not been to doc for a while now. Anything you can share would be great.

I don't know if my condition is related to Acid reflux. I did not know where else to post if I don't know what condition I have. 1 of the symptoms is close to Acid reflux.

Thanks All
