Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hi... I just had an episode of sudden and severe pain in back between shoulder blades accompanied by squeezing pain along inside of rib cage. I thot I needed to throw up, got very hot and clamy, could not find a comfortable position. It felt like I had back labour. Lasted about 10-15 min. Now feel a bit chilled but other than that as if nothing happened.... what could have caused this?
Dear-Thanks for using our service and understand perfectly your medical complaints. It is an acute pain which could be from pinch nerve or gas. The reason that you feel it along the rib cage is because the gas might be moving along this area. Other possibility, mostly if a pinch nerve, is that the nerve terminals are in that area. Try to avoid food that produces gas as milk products, vegetables and spice food. The main thing is to try to identify what triggers it. Hope that my advice has been helpful. Chat Doctor.
