I had something similar. Thought I was going to die from the pain. Couldn't move a lot. Went to the hospital and everything. got there and after laying for a while( because the doctors couldn't find something wrong) I released gas. It was embarrassing but I felt much better. Ur friend she get checked any way to be safe.

It is serious enough that she should go see a doctor and get a chest x-ray. That will give the doctors a better idea of what is causing the pain. The range of issues she could have ranges from minor issues that will go away fairly quickly, to major issues that could be life threatening. The only way to figure out which is to go to the doctor.

I've had this before and I honestly have no idea what could have caused it. After a while it should get better if it's the same thing I was going through. It hurts when you breathe in or talk loudly or cough, right? I hope you feel better soon.

it could be a number of things, a stitch caused by rushing around, maybe she has pulled a muscle, sometimes even coughing can cause pain in ribs. or it could be her posture if she has been sitting,or just got up.

Yes see a doctor. why are you asking us? My advice is get really drunk. the more drunk you are, the less pain you feel. Therefore, drunkeness=healthy! pretty simple.

It could be her appendix. And if it is, yes it is very serious and would need surgery. She should see a dr. ASAP.

Go see a quack, could be anything.
My guess?
Gas or irritable bowl syndrome.
