Hi, a few days ago I suddenly started having abdominal cramps that turned into a sharp pain under my right rib cage. The pain would occur while breathing , laughing, etc. and got worse if I laid down. I went to the hospital for it, and the CT scans came up negative, so they sent me back home with a pain pill prescription. Now I am feeling a bit better, but I am constipated from the contrast fluid. However, my friend told me yesterday she was starting to feel the same symptoms as me and a few minutes ago, she just got taken to the same hospital for the same pains! What is this & could it possibly have been contagious??
Dear Kia. This is not contagious. You probably have had temporary abdominal bloating with cramps or some abdominal wall nerve was pressed. If CT scan showed nothing the shouldn't be worried. You could have some stomach disorders such as gastritis, ger for hiatal hernia. This can cause such pain, especially after meal. So I recommend doing gastrostomy with stomach biopsy and some Chat Doctor.  Wish you good health.
