Went to docs about the sharp pain in my lower right hand rib cage, told them the symptoms as I was still in agony the following morning. They prodded and poked me to see where the pain was, they couldn't work out what was causing the pain, but they thought it may have been gallstones, I was ok lying on my back until they started to prod me. Then they decided the best thing was to call an ambulance to take me to a&e for some scans and tests. Which all came back negative.

Luckily for me it wasn't gallstones or my appendix, they asked me what I like to eat, so I told them what I eat at night and Ithey have advised me not to eat my sweet & sour meals or anything that has spices in it and to see how I get on. They have advised me that if the pain starts up again I must go directly to a&e either by a friend driving me there or if I can't get a lift to call an ambulance out if I happen to be in a lot of pain again.

As for my job interview, it's going to be next Wednesday.

I tried to come on earlier today but my credit on my dongle ran out, had to top it up so I could reply. Good thing I did really as I got a sale this evening.

Good for you Craig. Glad to hear you went & took care of things and got a good report. So you already know what to do if it happens again. Also very glad that you got your job interview rescheduled.

Usually if they think its acid pains, they advise no spicy or fatty foods. Hope you get it sorted.

I have been on a low fat, low spice diet for years. Plenty of fruit & veg. Apples are very good.

Whatever you do, do not take antacid remedies! They make it worse over time. Your body keeps an acid balance in the stomach. If it is changed to lower the acid, the body makes even more acid to redress the balance.

In fact plenty of fruit helps lower your acid production. Don't eat, no milky drinks for 4 hours before you go to bed, or you will end up with acid reflux next and that is really unpleasant. Also doctors favourite: less alcohol, quit smoking (if you do), lose weight, more exercise.

Plenty of water helps too.
