What Causes Inflammation Around The Rib Cage?
Hi. I went to the doctor today and they told me I have inflammation around my rib cage and a really really high heart rate. Also experiencing problems after eating with stomach, all mid stomach and left side. Also having radiating pain in my back. He couldn t give me a definitive answer, but I need piece of mind. Is this my pancreas?

Hi,
It is unlikely to be due to the pancreas.
It could be due to gastritis or indigestion of food.
You may try antacids tabs or syrup.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nirmal Chander Gupta,
