I am a 55 year old female .I have cornary artery disease ,severe hypertension,have had 2 minor heart attacks and 2 tias. Over the past week I have a severe pain in my right mid-back area ,and my right side and abdomen areas directly under my right rib cage area.When I take a deep breath it feels like a sharp knife is being twisted inside. I had two large red areas on my back in the same area last week that looked like some kind of a bite .they were very itchy at first then they started to hurt. they are now going away but that is where the pain started and has gotten worse and spread to my side and area under my right rib cage.it is very painful especially when i breathe. I have not had any type of cold ,cough or anything in a long time.

It sounds like you may be developing Shingles - you should definitely go to the Dr. - if it is shingles, there is medicine they can give you to drastically speed the healing process up.
