Hello everyone,

Today I woke up fine but shortly after I ate, took my pill and I started feeling this sharp pain on my rib. It comes and goes, it has been on my mind since it started and its got me worried, I have health anxiety so you know how that can be. I think my stomach is a little bit upset and that's probably it, but I keep telling myself its something else. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.

Only this, heart pain is not sharp, it is dull and crushing, i hope this helps. Peace

SB.,

Sorry you are in pain :( I know how this raises the 'what if' questions...as well as anxiety.

However, there are so many benign reasons for what could be the source of the pain...from trapped gas, to a pulled muscle.

If you aren't feeling better in a day or two...go be seen for peace of mind...

...but I bet it will go away soon.:)

Use your coping skills for now!

S.C.
