What Causes Pain Under The Ribcage?
I get a pain under my ribcage, in the middle, every few weeks that lasts from anywhere between 20 mins to 12 hours. It sometimes makes me vomit. My doctors don t know what is wrong with me. Have you any ideas? I m 23, 5ft and I think I m 13 stone.

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to muscle sprain.
For that you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.
Restrict your movements.
In case of breathing difficulties you may require chest X Ray after chest physician consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
