stabbing pain up under rib cage

[Leonard1959]

All of a sudden the last couple of days around dinner time or a little before i started having this severre pain up under my diaphram or rib cage. it hurts when i breathe  or get up and do things. I had it last night into my mind was what my grandmother would say everthing can be cured with a good bowel movement i was thing along the lines of gas or plueralsy. what do you think? the only other symptom i had was nausea and profuse sweating however i do live in Texas and a good ole heat stroke cud be the culprit.  Help! I am serious this hurts like a muthafo and it is  getting on my last nerve. I do not have the time for pain. It isnt on my schedule.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Your persisting symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting could indicate a viral gastroenteritis. The other causes could be jaundice if there is yellowish discoloration of skin, food poisoning if the symptoms occurred shortly after taking food, peptic ulcer disease and sometimes cholecystitis and pancreatitis. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation. In the meantime take oral fluids and include plenty of yogurt in your diet.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

If the pain is concentrated on the right under the ribs and radiates up and into the back it could be gall bladder,you will need a hida scan Dont eat high fat meals there are some foods will trigger it  lemon juice will help soothe , dont eat late ,several hours before bed .some folks have an attack then no more with others it continues so get it checked out ...good luck
