Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi Doctor, I have been getting continuous pain just underneath my right breast since the middle of January this year, the pain moves to the right and towards the back. Most of the time the pain is bearable, however, after i have urinated or passed stools the pain seems to increase. Also, My stomach stays bloated majority of the time, I feel relief when I burp or pass wind. I have been prescribed Zantac 150mg to be taken twice a day, this has not made any difference. Please advice. Salma Dear Salma: It seems that your pain may be muscular in origin especially since it is below the right breast and moves to the back and also increases after passing a stool which is when we use our abdominal muscles. However having said this this pain could also indicate other conditions like a breast condition, traumatic injury or a liver( hepatitis)/gall bladder problem like gall stones The bloating may be related to a ulcer or reflux disease. You need to see your GP for a more indepth physical examintation and an possible ultrasound of that area and the abdomen so as to aid with the diagnosis. |
