It could be the beginnings of heartburn. The acids start down at the base of the stomach under your right ribs and if left untreated, the pain/numbness will eventually crawl up to your esophagus.
Just an idea! It's totally possibly something else.
BTW, of all the heartburn remedies I tried, acidophilus was the most thorough in dealing with it. I've been heartburn free for the last two weeks thanks to acidophilus. (OMG I'm so grateful for that sentence) I took it at every meal until things got better, now I'm just taking it once a day unless I eat tomato sauce.
