What Causes Pain At Bottom Of Right Rib Cage And Back?

Hi , yesterday afternoon I started having pain like a band around the bottom of my rib cage up into my right side of my chest and back under my breast . It has lessened a bit . But is still there . This reminded me of when I passed a gallstone . But I had my gallbladder out 11 years ago.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain at bottom of right rib cage and back . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like muscle strain , myofascial pain , chest infection , acid reflux and lift something too heavy . It can also sometimes occur due to cardiac condition like angina . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination and rule out serious condition like angina . Doctor may order ECG, TMT along with complete blood profile and troponin t test . I to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide dinitrate , beta blockers , furosemide , sedative and aspirin .
