I've been feeling something really weird on the left side, just below my ribs for the past three months. It's like a mix of pain, ticklish sensations, and bubbling. At one point, I thought maybe I'd torn a muscle, so I rushed to emergency. They did an ECG, checked my blood pressure, and even took an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm on some meds that the doctor gave me from the GD Diabetes Centre like Voveran SR, Pan D, and Trinerve 75. But still, when I touch the area, it hurts a bit, and when I don't, it feels ticklish and painful at the same time. Any idea what's going on or if I should be concerned?

View allMy 65-year-old mom has multiple gallstones and severe sleep apnea. Doctors say meds won't help and surgery is too risky because it could be life-threatening. What options do we have left? She really wants to live is there any other solution we can try?
U need to take her to a higher center which is equipped to deal with such patients. Be prepared that post operatively her recovery may be slow n would need ventillator n ICU support. Discuss at length n then decide what patient and the family wants

I've had this bubbling sensation under my left front rib cage whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for a few days now. It also hurts when I do any kind of physical activity. I'm just wondering if this is something I should be seriously worried about.
The "bubbling" sensation under your left front rib cage, accompanied by pain during physical activity, could be related to various conditions, such as costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone), pleurisy (inflammation of the lining surrounding the lungs), or even a rib injury, and it's recommended to consult a orthopaedician

I'm feeling a bit uneasy because I've had this discomfort and pain in the upper right side of my chest for the past three days. I visited a gastric specialist and he mentioned it might be due to acidity, so he prescribed Pantocid 40mg and Rifagut. I've been taking them for two days now, but the discomfort hasnt improved. Do you think I should get an X-ray to check what's going on? Any advice would be really helpful.
yes do one chest xray
