What Causes Pain Under Right Breast?
Question: Age 66, white female, 5'8" tall, 175lbs. Yesterday I experienced pain under my right breast, at base of ribs. Spread to left side same area. Strong, pressure, double over pain, lasted for 30 minutes, then eased. Burping and felt like I would throw up, although I didn't. Sore today in pain area.
Brief Answer:
You are mostly having gastritis.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of acute gastritis is more.
But better to rule out cardiac diseases first because at your age of 66 years chest pain can be due to heart diseases.
So first get done ecg.
If ecg is normal then no need to worry for cardiac diseases.
Your pain is mostly due to acute gastritis.
So take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid stress and tension.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
