Lately this week i've been getting this stabbing pain toward my ribs, and it goes up to my chest. It doesn't last very long but it is pretty painful. I told my mom about it, and she said if the pain gets worse, to get her right away and we'd go to the hospital, she also said it may be something like "Pleurisy" if thats it? It's really starting to freak me out, but I can't stand doctors. And i nearly pass out at sight of a needle.
Any ideas what it might be?

What she is calling "Pleurisy" is actually when your ribs and lungs are basically "sticking" together ( a lot more complicated, but it paints the picture) due to different reasons. A common reason is a drastic change in the atmosphere temp./humidity etc.. to cause it. It feels like you you stated somewhat, except it feels like it goes all the way through your body.. It is worse when you breathe, but it feels as if it is going all the way through your body. What you describe could be that, but often there is something else causing it as well or atleast contributing to the pain- even heartburn can do it.. I have terrible back pain, which is totally different, but I tried everything from surgery to taking enough pain meds to kill a small village and nothing worked until I started reading some books and these two below helped me out more than i can even start to say. I have also used the advice to help with tons of other illnesses/pains etc. for me, my wife, and even our children!! I'd check them out for sure.

Often the soreness is slight however routinely it is so dangerous I can barley take a breath. It additionally feels love it begins on the backside of my rib cage after which travels up my facet because it slowly is going away. I used to be informed via my general practitioner it used to be "developing" pains. Then whilst I used to be older, I introduced it up once more and he stated it might be a muscle unsolicited mail. It's been months for the reason that I've had one. With me, the soreness most effective final a couple of seconds and on the such a lot a minute or 2. They additionally most effective appear to occur a few times in an afternoon whilst i do have them. I might advise that in the event that they arise extra regularly, more than one instances in an afternoon I'd see anyone approximately it.

It sounds like it could be your gallbladder. You should go to the doctor's office or to the hospital for a check-up, because any type of chest pain isn't normal. If it gets worse when you eat, it probably is your gallbladder. Best of luck to you.

Whatever it is, you really need to get it checked out, go to the ER.....why sit & wonder when you find out the reason....If you are almost passing out, that doesn't sound good to me at all....GO
