Hi, Ok, the stomach is near the bottom of the rib cage. Irritation there will usually cause pain there. Ok, 1 in 3 people have problems in that region that does not show up on tests and is treatable with the latest stomach medicines (PPI, Omeprazole, etc.).  And, it is pretty common to have an enlarged hole in the diaphragm and the stomach to pop into the chest a little (hiatal hernia) the Chat Doctor.  Surgery works. But the hole usually eventually comes back. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
