Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating And Pressure Sensation Near The Ribs

I have a bloated feeling with pressure at the center base of my ribs. It seems to ache around to my back at my bra line. I have a soreness, like a pulled muscle on my stomach muscles. No sharp pains. I take no prescriptions meds and have changed nothing as far as exercise or diet recently. What could it be??

Hi,

The muscle strain or rib inflammation can be the reason for that. You can be prescribed anti-inflammatory medication for five days. If no improvement than USG scan or X-ray can be planned.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
