What Causes Chronic Pain Under The Right Rib Cage And Breathing Difficulty?
I have chronic pain under my lower right ribs. its hard to catch my breath, feels like my ribs are going to break. ++ For the last week Ive been experiencing what feels like severe arthritis, in my lower and middle back. I LOCK UP.. It brings me to tears just to get out of bed.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Based on your history, it appears that you could be having gall stone disease called 'cholelithiasis'. Kindly do not ignore the symptoms as if gall stones are present, it might cause obstruction to the biliary tract. Kindly get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen done and consult Surgeon with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best. Regards, Dr. Ashakiran.S. MBBS., MD.
