Aids
super aids
mega aids
Testicular Torsion
Giga aids
pericarditis or gallstones? I have had both and they both had that symptom.
You have AIDS
Terra AIDS
idk what pericaditis is, but its not gullstones because it only lasts for a few breaths and happens once every few weeks or months
It could also be muscle spasms of the intercostal muscles.
quadracular aids
Probably a clogged artery. Trombosis or something. I experienced this also a couple times.
You're dying OP
could it also happen in the chest?
what area of your ribs?
maybe costochondritis?
I get the same thing; I think it's a pinched nerve, literally nothing physically wrong with your lungs. I smoke weed, so I was concerned, and that was the consensus.
If you're under 30, it's costochondritis. Take double the normal dose of advil for a couple days.
paramedic here. it's most likely a muscle just cramping for a moment. very common and nothing to worry about.
couple days to several months..
If it's in the right upper quadrant below your nipple above your belly button, it's probably galbladder related; especially if it occurs after you've eaten. You need an Ultrasound/HIDA scan to rule out cholecystitis (sounds chronic).
If it occurs when you breath periodically, it may be a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs), but since you've said it's been over weeks/months; that is less likely.
Intercostle muscle spasm is the likely culprit second to cholecystitis of the galbladder.
Any diarrhea/nausea/vomiting? Pain after you've eaten a meal? Which side is your pain? Upper or lower of said side? Does it hurt when you press into where the pain originates?
Aren't you always breathing?
