Shooting pain in Ribs
Hello All,
My wife have shooting pain in Ribs (under her breast on left side) due to which
1.She is unable to breathe properly freely ( long breathes)
2.Unable to move
3.Unable to laugh
It happens occasionally 4-5times a week ( generally at night while she is lying down on her right side) lasts for 10-15mins, goes away after applying move and heating pad. Happening from few months althought the frequency and duration was nehligible at that time, now it has increased.
From past couple of days happening on her right ribs as well..had her ECG done it was alright.
Can anyone suggest why it happens, what could be the potential reason behind this ?
