Why am I frequently having a sharp stabbing pain in my ribs?

Does it hurt when you inhale? I get that sometimes, it’s gas, I just burp a few times to let all the air out, and I’m fine.

If that doesn’t seem to work, and the pain persists…see a doctor it may be something more serious, you never know.

Yes it hurts to breathe when I get these little fits… I can’t breathe in deep at all or move certain ways or it hurts insanely.

That sounds exactly like what I get. As far as I know, it’s normal, and it’s just gas/air. Try burping like I said, it may take a few burps, but that should help…that’s what I always do.

I don’t feel the need to, and know how to force it .-.

A lot of people point to gastric problems /indigestion when this question is asked. I wouldnt have thought that indigestion would cause stabbing pains, so have a look at a diagram of the human body too see if it might be your liver or spleen. The liver is quite large, it goes across the top of your tummy and down your right hand side. If it carries on, you should ask your doctor about it.

Indigestion can cause stabbing pains. I get those from my irritable bowel, but you are correct it is better to see a doctor about these problems. A lot of things could be wrong.

we’re not the doctors so don’t ask us- ask your GP!

Hello. Screw off if you don’t have anything relevant to say. Thanks!
