What Causes Burning Sensation In Lower Ribs And Stomach?
Question: I have been feeling the blood flowing through my lungs and chest for a couple hours tonight. For most of this week I have been experiencing burning sensation in my lower ribs and stomach.
With the heat sensations, it is mostly when resting and those tend to come for about 30-60 minutes and then go away. I have not had any shortness of breath or pain otherwise.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these disturbing feelings that you have reported and all the inconveniences this has caused you.
I have reviewed the information carefully and fully. There is no red flag that signals imminent danger or need for immediate medical evaluation.

In all, there is no gross abnormality going on with you at this time considering the information you have provided. Monitor and gather more information but above all, remind yourself that all is okay with you at this time.

Over the last few days this has somewhat evolved into a constant stomach ache with light pain in the bottom of the windpipe at times. No real trouble breathing but when I exercise there does feel like some congestion in my upper lungs.
Brief Answer:
Please, relax about this!

Hi and thank you so much for following up with me.
Your symptoms do not point to any threatening disease condition right now. I even think they are just transient ad represent no real disease process or an ongoing pathological process. I will also suggest that you avoid making conscious thoughts about these symptoms as this can make you experience the symptoms even in its absence.
If you develop any worsening symptoms like breathing difficulties, severe chest pain, let me know so that we can update our plan. For now, monitoring is all I recommend.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.
