Woke up on Friday morning with a sharp pain in ribs on the left side/front just under the line of my bra.
At first I thought it was trapped wind or a pulled muscle and tried to ignore it. Then on Friday afternoon I started with a cold/virus thing.
By yesterday the cold had cleared up but I was really struggling with the rib pain and popped to the walk in clinic. The nurse practitioner listened to my chest and said it sounded ok and that she thought it was probably muscular.
I'm now laid in bed feeling really sorry for myself and wondering how long it should be before the pain starts to ease, at what point do I go to my gp? It hurts when I breathe deeply, cough, sneeze, sigh, yawn etc I had the hiccups last night and was rolling around in agony.
My breathing feels heavy and after just walking up a flight of stairs I'm panting and in pain but I can't work out what's going on. If it is muscular it's almost like my body knows it's going to hurt so is subconsciously breathing shallower if you see what I mean.
Anyone had anything like this? No over the counter painkillers are touching the pain it's sharp and stabby and I feel totally wiped out.
