Experiencing Soreness Under Rib, Tender, Excessive Belching, Dizzy Spells. What Is The Problem?
I am experiencing at times soreness under my right rib cage, most times the area is tender, sometimes it's quite sore. I also have excessive belching. I have had something bitter come up & also sometimes at night after I've gone to bed, I have a strange taste in my mouth. I have had dizzy spells when this area under my right rib cage is the most sore. I also do not feel well in general. What is my problem? Oh yes, I had an ultrasound a few years ago & it didn't indicate a gall bladder problem or anything else.
hi there, area of sore ness and the symptoms associated with it like excessive belching and bitter after taste in the mouth do point to a gall bladder dysfuntion and you may like a second opinion about the same. IN the meanwhile get your routine blood checkup along with stool and urine and a LFT done to rule out any systemic cause of the problem.As the ultrasound was done a few years ago a repeat of the same is required to rule out any stone or any other problem which might have occured recently.The dizzy spells could be due to low hemoglobin levels and the blood test will be able to pinpoint that.To get symptomatic relief you may take some antacids and food which is nonspicy and low fat in small amounts at frequent intervals.Take care.
