What could painful ribs with pulsating sensation and nausea indicate?
Patient: im getting very worried about a very strong pulse and kind of dull ache just below my rib cage in the middle where they separate it also makes me nauseous at times, this has been going on for around 2 years now getting increasingly worse and I ve had a sore head for a few days now Doctor: thanks or asking your queryI completely understand your problemthe most common cause of pain over that reason in young age group is peptic ulcer disease and much more commoner in smokers and people who take alcohol  . if u r a smoker u should first quit smoking and drinking alcohol ,this will help u a lot with your pain .as for medications u can take a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole by asking your physician. if u r more worried about heart issues u can get an ecg done and consult a general physician after which u will feel relieved.thanks/regardsfeel free to ask more questionsmay god bless u a healthy life
