What Causes Sharp Pain Around The Chest And Under The Rib Cage?
I have sharp pain on my upper right side, about breast level at night in bed. Rest of upper rt side feels dull ache. Area is sore when pressed . Whole chest area feels achy at times. No shortness of breath or pain when I use the treadmill. I feel pain under rib cage on rt side when I take a deep breath. I get relief with Tylenol and walking around. But rt side chest still feels tight but sharp pain is better.
It may be due to costochondritis. As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or tramadol for pain. If symptoms are severe better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
