Question

I'm experiencing pain just below my right ribs since yesterday. It gets worse when I breathe, laugh, or change positions while sleeping. I'm really concerned about what might be causing this. Could you please help me understand what it could be?

Hello, it sounds like you may be experiencing pain in your right ribs. This could be due to a muscle strain or inflammation of the rib cartilage. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my sister because she's been experiencing pain on the right side of her rib. It's been tough figuring out who we should consult for this. Could you help point us in the right direction or suggest which specialist might be best to see?

Question

I'm having a bit of an issue thats been puzzling me and I was hoping you could help. When I try to take a deep breath in the afternoon or evening after I've eaten, I can't seem to complete it. It's like my stomach starts to swell when I inhale deeply, and I have to stop halfway through. This doesn't seem to happen when my stomach is empty or only partially filled. Do you think I'm breathing the wrong way, or is there something else going on that I should be concerned about?

Question

I've got a quick question about my hbsag levels. They came back at 0.01, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Is that a normal reading, or should I be worried? I'd really like to understand the normal hbsag range and find out how serious it could be if it's active. Just trying to wrap my head around this, and any advice would be appreciated.
