What Causes Pain In Left Rib-cage Cage During Anxiety Attacks?
Hello. My left bottom rib sticks out more than my right one. I had appendicitis when I was 10. Got it removed. And when I think about something bad or I worry about something, the bottom left ribcage area hurts a little. Doesn t restrict me from any movements, have had it a longgggg time (many months). Extra rib?
Hi, Welcome to the HCM As anxiety and stress can cause acidity and acid reflux and even epigastric pain.You may take tab.esmoprazole and avoid spicy food,if pain relieves ,it might be acidity related.But if still it aches then get an Xray chest to rule out any changes in rib cage. Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
