I m really scared, because it s happened twice now, and I have no medical insurance to just schedule a dr. apt. What could it be and should I go to the emergency room?
Hi, Liver, stomach and pancreas are situated under right ribs.  So pathology in any of these organs, hepatitis, severe gastritis, pancreatitis can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult emergency room and get done ultrasound abdomen to rule out these causes.  Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.  Chat Doctor.  Avoid junk food.  Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
