What Are The Treatments For Pain Under Rib Cage, Increased Heart Rate And Difficulty In Breathing?
Hi, I am a 19 year old female... my heart rate is 125 a minute. My face is REALLY hot. I am having trouble breathing and getting light headed. For the past few (maybe 3) days I have had this problem and it starts when I get this sharp, but throbbing pain on my right side under the bottom of my ribcage it desends below it, but not far. I feel like my stomach is going to explode. I also have back pains (but I think that's a UTI)

Hi I read your query very carefully.
Your pain may be due to gastrointestinal or pulmonary problems.
So I recommend to run the following exams:
- ECG
- Cardiac ECHO
- Chest x ray
- abdominal ECHO
- blood work
Hope it was of help!
