Suggest Treatment For Constant Pain Around Back And Front Of Rib Cage
Having pain around back and front of rib cages. Feels like a knife twisting in there. Comes and goes without warning. Hurts when it strikes. sometimes difficult to breathe. Soreness in the area also...sudden movement sometimes starts it. A twist of the head started. It is intermittent . This has been going on for a week. I can walk my two miles in the morning and doesn t hurt. I am on Brilinta, and wonder if this could be causing it. I do have trouble with the breathing since being on this med. it bothers me ( the knife pain) when i try to relax th the muscles, lean forward can trigger it......have an appointment with family doctor on Tuesday
Brilinta contains the main principal ingredient Ticagrelor. It reduces the chances for cardio-vascular event. This means, it was prescribed because you might have been at risk or already passed a cardio-vascular event. I think you should get another complete cardiac check up to see if there is no cardio problem going on. If nothing, it could be of muscular skeletal, and can get treated with pain killers.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
