Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ribs With Wheezing And Breathlessness

I have been experience pain that usually originates under my right ribs and tends to form into almost a side ache. This has been going on for months and recently I began experience it occasionally on the left side. I also have experienced wheezing and a shortness of breath. The pain seems to be worse when sitting or lying on my side/stomach. What could this be?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out heart (heart failure, coronary artery disease) and lung (bronchitis) related diseases first because chest pain, breathlessness and wheezing are common symptoms in these diseases.So consult doctor and get done
1. Ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out heart diseases.
2. Chest x ray and PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out lung diseases.
You may need cardiac supportive drugs, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of above reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
