What Causes Pain Below Ribcage While Taking Deep Breaths?
I have discomfort on my right side only (just below my ribcage) when breathing in deep breaths. Its not super painful, just uncomfortable. No issues going to bathroom (1 or 2). no other symptoms that I am aware of. I heard other people including my wife(currently an MA) say this could be gallbladder issue. Any ideas?
Hi,Welcome to the HCM. It can be because of Gall bladder stone if you have history of recent weight loss or acidity issues . Otherwise it can be only muscular pain.If you have on and off pain or reffered to right shoulder and associated with other symptoms then get an Ultrasound abdomen done to rule out the cause.
