I've had on & off gripy/trapped wind type pain under my right ribs for at least the last two years, very periodically, can be a few times a week then nothing for a few weeks.
Last Thursday I had the same kind of pain, took some Windeeze tabs which usually work but didn't this time, ditto Ranitidine. Kept taking them on Friday and felt really bloated despite this, then on Friday evening I noticed the pain had eased under my ribs but was around the right side towards my back. Long story short I was up Friday & Saturday night, felt sick every time the pain came although wasn't actually sick and still have the pain now although it seems to have eased very slightly.
I can feel it more now in my ribs towards my armpit. It's really weird and frequent, kind of like contractions although there doesn't seem to be any pattern. It's got to the point though where I'm waiting for the pain to come.
I just called my doctors and there's no appointments left for today so she told me to call back in the morning. It's nowhere near bad enough to go to A&E but I'm just a bit concerned about what might be going on as last time I had something similar it was a stomach ulcer that was bleeding. I know it's no that this time though as the pain is literally just under my right ribs and spreading up that side.
Has anyone had anything similar? Is there anything stronger than I'm taking that may help, I could pop out to the chemists if so.
Thanks - and sorry it's so long!!
