What Causes Pain Underneath Ribs On Right Side Radiating To Back?
I have a pulling type cramp feeling directly underneath my right ribs at the sternum. It radiates some around to the back. I am an avid runner and when increasing intensity the pulling/discomfort increases. I notice it a little after eating. I would not call it pain, but more discomfort. Thanks.
Hello, Thank you for the question! In my opinion it may be nothing serious, just a muscular cramp from overstretch during your physical exercise. You need a little rest . If the troubles don't go away I think you should go to a doctor have a physical examination, followed by an EKG, chest x ray to see your heart function and the Aorta. Although less likely to be coronary disease as it happened during eating. An aorta dissection rarely can cause similar troubles. Also in the end I would recommend a cervico- thoracal column x ray for any disc problems which can cause this symptom too. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes Dr Abaz quka
