What Causes Gurgling Sensation Under The Lower Ribs?
I've been getting a gurgling sensation under my lower right rib cage which sometimes turns into horrible bloating in my upper chest cavity and radiates into my shoulder. When this bloating/gas pain occurs in my chest area, i can't sit up or stand up however when i lay flat on my back it eases up. anything serious? I'm not overweight and it doesn't seem to be food specific as sometimes it happens hours after i eat.
Dear gurgling sounds are nothing but bowel movements (borborygamous). these are normal bowel movements and sound during digestion process. sometimes these sounds are over active in gastritis, food allergy, irritable bowel syndrome, acute gastroenteritis etc..
please avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking. tab.pantaprazole before breakfast for one week.tab.librax 5mg twice a day for five days. if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
take care
