What Causes Severe Rib Pain?

For the past few months I ve been having pain in my ribs on both sides. Whenever I m having a seizure I land on my chest and afterwards can feel my ribs hurting but the pain goes on. Four days later while I m sleeping my ribs start hurting a lot and it feels like it s throbbing and sharp. It went on for a minute or so and I just went back to sleep. For a month and a half I wasn t feeling any pain until recently. I was feeling the same exact pain but it was worse than before. It was so painful that I ended up crying. I m scared and don t know what to do. Maybe you might have an idea of what this is?

It could be intercostal neuralgia. You need to see a general physician or neurologist for further care.
