For the last couple of days I have been having a stabbing pain in my chest on the right side.?

Question

it hurts ot breath, sleep and walk most of the time and is consistant. The reason i have not gone ot the hospital or doctor is the closest one is almost 45 minutes away and the clinic here is only open 2 days a week. I do not htink it is life threatening but i was wondering if anyone else has had this and could provide me with something i can do. I am not on any medication and everything else seems normal.

I guess I should mention i am 26 years old and there is no pressure just pain. I would go see my family doctor if I had one. Where i live there are NONE. You can not get one anywhere in Ontario Canada. I am thinking gull bladder so I will get it checked in the morning.

Answer 1

It could be gallstones?? I'm having my gallbladder removed on Thurs, and prior to having a very painful attack last month I was having pain in my chest and felt bloated and uncomfortable. It becomes worse if you eat fatty foods.
I would get it checked out ASAP, I had to have morphine when I had my "attack" and have panadine forte for any pain until the op. Thankfully I have been reasonably fine since the 'attack' as I have stayed away from fatty foods, and I have also lost 4kgs.

If your pain has gone on this long, it's time (or past time) to go to the doctor. Pain is your body's hint that there is something wrong. If I were you, I would take someone else along with me rather than drive for 45 minutes while experiencing stabbing pain.
