Hi, I have been having sharp pains under both my rib cages like right under my breasts. The pain isn t at the same time it goes from different ones randomly. It s a sharp pain for a couple second and it feels like someone is stabbing me. I don t know what it could be or if it is serious enough to need to be seen by a doctor

Hi there.

Thanks for writing in.

Do you have any history of fever or cough?
Any history of bloating sensation of the abdomen?
How are your bowel habits? Any diarrhoea/ constipation?
How old are you? Any history of smoking? Any history of palpitations, shortness of breath? Anything to suggest a cardiac nature for the pain?

The possibilities I can think of are muscle sprain, acidity/ gastritis,anxiety, cardiac problems/ respiratory problems. Kindly get back to me with the above details. I will be in a better position to comment further with the answers to the above.
Hope this helps

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
