What Causes Crushed Feeling In The Ribs Upon Lying On The Stomach?
Hi there. I noticed that when I sleep on my stomach for too long, I tend to feel like my organs and ribs have been crushed... Is there simply too much pressure on my ribs when I lie on my stomach for too long (because I always sleep easier when lying on my stomach)?
As first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
