What Causes Shortness Of Breath With Stomach Pain?

hi, i have been short of breath and unable to take in more than a shallow breath due to it feeling very uncomfortable in my rib area. When i stand i feel as though i could be sick and my eyes black out for a few seconds. Also i have really bad stomach pains as if i am really hungry but im not. My toe nails have also gone black with no trauma over 1 week since i have felt this way. I am 20 years old, female, 5ft 6, and 9st 2lb. I don t have any other medical issues.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

My thoughts and suggestions are as below. Shallow breath, feeling uncomfortable in rib area and having black toes can be some serious problems related to blood diseases or some auto-immune disease as you are only 20 year old. Hence I would advise you the following:

Consult your Doctor urgently. Clinical evaluation, investigations and referral to the Specialists as needed. Hydrate yourself well. Avoid physical activities. Avoid any factors that instigate or enhance the problems.

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