Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Below The Rib Cage And Breathlessness

I have been getting severe abdominal cramps, just below my rib cage on the right and left side of my abdomen. They are so severe I can hardly breathe. I can feel the cramps balling up and have to massage them and stretch out to make them go away. They last about 10 minutes and take my breath away. Do you know what this could be?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
As your description goes the possibilities are renal stones or a gastroenteritis. Get a ultrasound abdomen done to rule out stones at the earliest.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
