Recently Answered Questions on Left side discomfort under ribs
Stiff Neck
I had a stiff neck towards the end of January after a trekking trip. I thought it might be due to carrying too much weight and sleeping in a position that stained my neck. The discomfort stopped after 4-5 days so I didn't pay much attention to it. But, since then I've actually been having this problem quite frequently. However, the subsequent episodes haven't been as extreme. The range of motion of my neck is pretty good. The discomfort only arises when I move my head to the extremes.
I never had any neck or shoulder pain issues prior to the incident. But it seems to me that now my neck has becomes a lot more tender. As an example, it'd get a bit stiff if I sleep on my stomach for even 15-20 minutes. I must add that I've been traveling quite a bit since the end of January and have a feeling that long journeys coupled with me having to sleep on different mattresses and pillows is aggravating the pain. Should this be a cause of concern for me?

Dextrocardia/ situs inversus
Hi all,
I'm male,age 33, height 5.10 ft,weight around 95 kg
Last 1 week. I play football 3 days a week.
I generally don't have breakfast and have lunch at 2pm
I'm dextrocardia / situs inversus.
I'm having pain in my left rib cage area in one particular spot. The pain is slowly moving in the front part of the chest as well ( my feeling)
I'm having heaviness on my chest as well for few minutes once or twice a day
To be on the safer side, I took ecg, echo and chest scan. It's normal.
But I want to know the reason for the pain in my ribcage area. Last 2 to 3 days, my spinal cord starting point near the bum is slightly paining.
Is it because of any muscle catch or gas or anything related to heart.
Please help. I have always been healthy and this is the first time I'm getting these symptoms.
Should I take any test to confirm
Not taking any tabs as of now.

Regarding stomach and chest pain
Hello sir I want to explain my situation first I am an 22 years old boy who spend most of his time on chair, I am little fat (weight- 68kg) for the first time in my life for last 3 years
I felt some pain in left side just below the chest, and when I start running and excercise, then the pain disappears completely
And when I stop excersising then it returns back
I am anxious whether pain is due to overweight and inactivity or its a sign of future heart attack
I want to confirm that I never felt any pain while running when my heart beet raised to 150-160
Also my posture of sitting is quite good
But I also sometimes face pain in the back of my chest and when I try to twist my ribs, scapula, and sholder then It helps in pain relief a little maybe it's calcium deficiency
I wanted to ask you by looking at the symptoms what do you think what is the probability of I having a heart related problem or its just my inactivity causing all this trouble
I am attaching my ECG report

What can it be?
Started with a throat infection, i took amoxyclav for 5 days given by ent. On 3rd day, the cough/phlegm from chest came out to be yellowish thick in the morning. Maybe i coughed a lot forcefully, bright red blood came with mucus. I consulted pulmonologist after the antibiotics course, he said acute bronchitis. I was started with bronchitis clear 2x for 3 days. Cough improved, no more thick cough but sometimes after waking up i do get dry cough and after sometimes i need to clear phlegm from chest, little but clear mucus with small bubbles.
Apart from that when i palpate on the rib bone it feels tender, both left and right side, but no pain when i breathe in and out deep.. feels inflamed like costocondriotis.
What should I do now? I do feel weak after this illness too. Please guide me. Cough has reduced like 70-80%. No fever or anything.
Was this something viral? What other medicine do I need to take along with this to recover faster? Or is this asthma?

Painful flank lump?
So i have been having middle back stiffness, tightness and aching since a month or two.
Now there is a particular point near my right back flank, just under the rib which feels tender and if palpated deep enough feels like a lump. I am scared now. I checked kidney palpation videos by doctors on youtube, i did it there's no pain. And also when i press kidney area from front there's no pain.
Now, coming to history i have a gallbladder polyp of 2.9mm since 2 years, earlier this February i had done the 3rd ultrasound scan and it remained same in size.
I am outside of India and healthcare is nightmare here. Idk how do I manage this. Please help, I am scared. Painkillers don't work as this is not exactly a pain, if i sit on bed and work my back muscles get extremely stiff. Can this be hernia/knot? I am scared about cancer. There's no other symptoms apart from what I mentioned. Please guide me.

Lest Chest Pain
I am suffering from mild chest pain since last 2.5 years. It is mostly like pinching pain at same location with less than 5 seconds. It is mostly at the same location on front & back side of left chest. I have done multiple ECGs, 2 Echo and 2 TMT, Troponin test, KFT, LFT, Cholesterol, CBC, X rays of chest all normal except Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. DM Cardiologist said, there is no issue with heart but in last echo report it is mentioned as Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. Cardiologist referred me to Psychiatric as I always think that pain is coming from heart & my heart has some problem. Also, Neck X rays showing straightening of cervical lordotic curvature and mild hypertrophy of transverse process of C7 is seen. Also, orthopaedic said, I have cervical rib problem too. Does it pain related to cervical issue or heart? Please suggest, I am on anxiety medicine too.
