What Cause Severe Pain Under The Ribs With Breathing Difficulty?
Hi there, I have just turned 40 and I am a female, I am waiting to have an ultrasound scan on the organs in my right upper abdomen. I get severe pains in my right side just under my ribs and usually but not always I get severe pain at the same time in the right side of my neck/shoulder, the pain doesn't last more than a few seconds but it takes my breath away and it comes and goes but at the moment I am having these attacks several times a day.
