What Causes Pain Below Rib Cage?

I am experiencing pain under my ribcage near the bottom where it meets my stomach. I ve felt this before, off and on, for a few months, but it usually goes away after a half hour or so. Tonight it has been going on for about four hours already. It is mostly a feeling as if I got stomped on, but I also get sharp pains every few minutes. I m a 29 year old female, I don t smoke, and I rarely drink. Please help!

Hello,

You are probably suffering from heartburn or indigestion. You can take one tablet of Domperidone 10 mg (Domstal) or Ranitidine 300 mg (Zinetac) to get relief from pain. You can start on Digene syrup for a few days. Take 2 tablespoons (10 ml) of this syrup after all meals and before bedtime.

Some changes in lifestyle and habits can give you relief, too. Restrict on your intake of spicy and acidic food including onions, tomatoes, citrus fruits, green chilies etc. Have at least two hours of gap between dinner and sleeping time. Do regular exercise and drink plenty of water. Limit your intake of junk food.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
