What Causes Constant Pain Below The Rib Cage Along With Abdominal Bloating?

I have a constant pain just below my rib on my left side. It has continued to worsen over the past month. It is worse after eating and if I feel bloated. I can push on the area and it is more painful when I do. I have had the symptoms for a couple of months and now it is a daily rather than getting a pain once in a while. Any thoughts?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant pain below the rib cage along with abdominal bloating . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like liver damage , gallbladder disease due to inflammation of the gallbladder, most often, due to gallstones , Crohn's disease or ulcer. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , stool test or endoscopy . Doctor may prescribe anaspas , omeprazole along with anti inflammatory. Doctor may also recommend laproscopic surgery for gallstone problem . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , take proper rest and take healthy diet . You should also consult cardiologist one to rule out any cardiac problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
