What Does Pain Under The Upper Ribcage Indicate?

I drive a truck do a living so I find myself holding my per and limiting liquids. I m ok when I per but when I push to per mostly at the end, I m having pains directly under my upper rib cage in front and sometimes lower just below my rib cage. I m a little out of shape and about 50 lbs overweight. This has just started. Have I strained something?

Hello,

Many causes for pain in the rib cage are pleurisy or infection or pneumonia or muscle pain etcetera. Until the examination, it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
