Rib Pain/ Shortness of Breath... Any Ideas? Posted: 03-25-06 00:51am
Hi, just wanted to post some symptoms i've
been having because I can't get in to see
a doc. For a while and it's pretty
bothersome.
Sometimes I have gotten sharp pains or
just pain under my left rib in the past
but it has been about a week now where the
pain has progressed and now it's constant.
Yesterday and today I have bad shortness
of breath.
I can breathe a little bit better when I
stand rather than lying down or sitting.
I have scoliosis and the "hurting" rib is
twisted from it don't know if this has
anything to do with it.
Today I woke up with a cough. It hurts of
coarse to cough but its sort of a
productive cough and isn't really
bothersome.
Also probaly unrelated... Usually I get
my period on about the 8th, last month I
got it on the 1st and now I have like pink
bleeding since yesterday.
I get very frequent bladder infections and
I think the pink is coming from both
areas. Also constipated often but
accompanied with diarrhea..(eew)
i havent done anything out of the
ordinary.
Thank you very much for your time any
ideas would be very appreciated I am very
uncomfortable! I want to breathe!!
Your productive cough is probably due to
some respiratory infection but can't say
precisely which without physical
examination. Shest/rib pain could be
related to some respiratory infection bud
that is less possible in your case because
you had had chest/rib pain before coughing
started. Chest/rib pain can be also due to
the scoliosis. Do you still have the same
pain?
Bladder infections are more common in
women and their unproper treatment can
cause chronic bladder infection.
