I am experiencing some pains in my ribs. The pain is around the middle of my rib cage. It is a mild to moderate pain that comes and goes. When I drink a cold beverage, the coldness of the fluid irritates the pain and I can feel the fluid moving downward. What could be the cause of this pain? I was electrocuted by a heater 2 or 3 days ago.Could this be causing a serious issue?
Hi I did review your concerns a pain in rib cage can be mostly of musculoskeletal, food pipe related or heart related. I would advise you to get yourself evaluated. An ECG and a physical examination by a local doctor would help. Forever, if the area is painful to touch then it is mostly musculoskeletal, and then you can take Ibuprofen bid for 3-4 days with omeprazole OD 3-4 days and the pain would go away. But take this treatment only after ruling a heart condition out by getting an ECG done. I hope this yellowish you a healthy life ahead
