Lately, I've had a pain every now on then under my right ribcage. It kinda seems like a bubble about to pop. It hurts when it happens and the only way to "pop" it is to breathe in as big and as I do it the pain gets stronger until it hurts, almost as a mini heart attack. I'm scared and alot of websites say it could be gas, a collasped ribcage, or more. I'm only 13, my parents say it's only heart burn and it's something I ate but it happens alot and I have a large food variety so I doubt it's that. I can't go to the doctor soon so any medicine or ideas? I'm planning to start working out to stretch it to see if it helps. But it feels like someone sticking a knife in my right ribcage and twisting it around as I breathe in and then goes away. It's strange. Please help.

I have a something similar like a rib poking and about to burst something in there. Painful to the touch if you can bare the pain of moving any single muscle. Breathing causes pain and it has lasted me a solid five minutes.
What is it? No idea, I have never cared about doctors so I couldn't tell you since I never got it checked.
You don't know what a heart attack feels like...so please don't compare what's going on to that.
It could be a variety of things. The only way to figure it out is to go to the doctor.
You need to stop trying to self diagnose. You are not medically trained and neither is the internet...and neither are we. We cannot examine, test, diagnose or treat you.
There are very few accurate, up to date medical websites out there. They are very general and are not to be used to diagnose a problem. The only thing you're going to do is cause yourself a lot of anxiety.
I had something like that. It has something to do with your lungs and lack of oxygen or something. My pain always went away so it should be nothing major. You could tell a doctor the next time you see one, or get medicine for chest pain.
GALL BLADDER! have it checked, quite if the soreness comes after greasy foodstuff or overeating and hurts by potential of on your back. also your appendix might want to be moved up out of your growing to be uterus. watch for fever, and confer which includes your ob, it really is not any longer worth risking an infection right this moment! with any success it really is basically the infant although! reliable success!
