my family doctor pushed my lower left rib in when i was 11. Im am currently 19 years of age and now I have a sharp pain right below it to the point that it hurts to breath and I cant take full breaths. It also feels like my heart beats fast sometimes. Please help!
Hi thanks for asking question. If you have history of trauma then muscular strain or tear can lead to chest pain at lower part. If you had done heavy weight lifting or any unusual activity then pain can also occur by strain of muscle. The blunt trauma can lead spleen injury and pain can be there.USG done for it... If ribs tender to touch and painful Costco Chat Doctor. Rest needed and analgesic can give. If still no cause clear x-ray done for rib fracture identification. If fever present then chest x-ray done for rule out respiratory pathology. Take care
