What Do Pain In The Lower Ribcage And Chest Pain Indicate?
My husband started having pain in his back between the lower ribcage and spine and the shoulder on the right side. He also said his chest hurt under the sternum also on the right side. In the last 2-3 hrs the pain radiated to the back of his head, hes started sweating heavily, and he cant stay awake. Also, he wasnt able to urinate all day and when he finally got a couple drops out thought he was finished and ended up urinating down his leg.

Hello,
Chest pain with radiation and sweating should assess by urgent blood pressure checking and electrocardiogram (ECG) and chest x-ray PA view plus the level of troponins. Please visit the emergency room as soon as possible.
