I know this isn't lgbt related, but does anyone know what pain on the right side, right below the ribcage is? Been having that every night and morning, along with these tiny sharp pains in the middle of my chest (the chest pain is only at night, and I know I have chronic acid reflux and kidney stones, so I just chalked that up to that) and don't want to go to the doctor if this is minor and/or nothing. But when I tried looking up some things, galbladder stones kept popping up, which scares me. While I know this isn't the same as an expert's opinion, I just wanted to hear if people who've experienced things like this have to say- whether it is bad or no or just anxiety or another symptom of reflux.
Hello! As someone who works in a Doctors office as clinical staff I can safely say that if one of my patient were to call with that kind of problem I would tell them to go to their nearest ER for evaluation. Yes not only is you gallbladder there but your appendix is on the right side and your pancreas is just behind your stomach. Please go and get yourself evaluated. Best of luck!
Ok, I will. But should I go even though I'm not keeling over in pain? When the pain happens (it's on and off), it is painful, but a dull kind of pain where I'm not screaming. It just scares me where it's located, and some of my other symptoms. I will go get it looked at, I jusy don't want them to not take me seriously because I'm not keeled over in agony, it's just a dull pain that hurts during it's duration.
Please don't wait until you are keeling over in pain. That will be waiting too long. A problem with your appendix, for example, is much more serious after it bursts. That's when you are keeling over in pain. Go today and get it checked out.
Agreed with @I'm gay. If it's you appendix and it bursts you run the risk of sepsis which can kill you rather quickly. Please go get checked out.
