What Does Pain Under The Rib Cage On The Right Side Indicate?
Hi! The 4 days ago i developed this pain under my right rib cage. It was a sharp and uncomfortable pain, that in my opinion did not feel muscular. I then noticed some swelling to the area and a slight slight discoloration of red as well as noticeable veins. The pain is still present and this morning i woke up with two hives in that area. i have had shortness of breath and have been very nauseous to the point i want to throw up but can not. I have had a burning headache and have been extremely tired or weak. I thought it might be altitude sickness but i have been hear for a full two weeks now.
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition. Stones are see more commonly in obese people and those with diabetes. You need to change your dietary habits first. Need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended. Other causes include pancreatitis or pleuordinia and should be considered if gallbaldder stones are ruled out.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
