Suggest Treatment For Painful Pressure Under Ribcage?
I ve revently started on Addrrall XR for ADHD and just today a new problem has arisen where I feel a slightly painful pressure right under where my ribcage meets, like my diaphragm. It isn t too painful but is uncomfortable and feels less intense when I breathe in but more so when I exhale. What could this be?
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the given description, it may not be possible to diagnose properly. But you do hve ADD. Anxiety and allied problems are part of ADD. The pain you are mentioning could possibly be due to anxiety. Gastric reflux pressure on the diaphragm could have made you to handle that area with your fingers, and those poking made that area tender and therefore could be the pain. That pain should subside in a few days if you stop poking at the area. Further, Researches proves that medicines alone cannot cure anxiety disorder. Along with medicine you should practice psychotherapy techniques to streamline your life style and meditation and yoga techniques to calm your mind, body, streamline your metabolism and thinking style. Please consult a psychologist.
If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
