Having Pressure Under Ribs While Sitting Or Bending. How To Get Relief?
Question: i have pressure under my right ribs,when i sit or bend, gone when i lay down,no pain just pressure,
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From your description, the mild pressure under the ribs seems to be due to a muscle spasm or a mild costo chondral inflammation.
Mild pain killers like acetaminophen and hot fomentation will take care of your mild symptoms. This should subside in a week or two. In case the symptoms are persistent then a detailed examination and evaluation by a physician is needed to detect the cause.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
