What Causes Ache Under Rib Cage And Fast Heartbeat?
Right under my rib cage i have an achy hurt that makes me want to throw up. When i push on it, i feel kinda bubbles. My heartbeat is super fast, my muscles (especially my thighs) hurt really bad. This all started a couple hours ago and I dont know what it could be. I am a 24 year old female that is 5 6 and 135 lbs.

Hi,
It may be costochondritis or neuromuscular pain. Fast heart rate may be the result if it. I would like to advise you to Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day after meal for 5 days, meanwhile avoid caffeine. If fast heart rate continues , take valeriane twice daily unless you drive a car.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
