I'm feeling this uncomfortable pain right under my right breast, kind of like a bruise, especially when I press on it. It's right on the rib below my breast. There's no lump or swelling, but it's just been bothering me a bit. I haven't had any injuries or anything that might explain why it's hurting. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

The pain under your right breast, feeling like a bruise, could be related to costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone), intercostal muscle strain, or even gastrointestinal issues like gallbladder disease or acid reflux, so it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

View allI'm wondering if having a UTI can lead to an increase in my ESR levels. How much does ESR usually go up in a UTI? Also, what's the purpose of measuring ESR? Should I be more concerned about my ESR or CRP levels? Does CRP get elevated with a UTI too? I'm just trying to understand what's going on with these tests.

A rat bit me last week and I already got a TT injection along with an anti-rabies shot. I'm wondering if I should go for the other two anti-rabies injections or if I'm good since I'm not really feeling any pain where the scratch is. Is there another step I should be taking here?
Yes, Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) can cause heartburn as a side effect, especially when taken in the evening. Other possible gastrointestinal side effects of Tryptomer include nausea, dry mouth, and constipation. To alleviate nighttime heartburn, consider taking Tryptomer in the morning or with food. You can also try antacids or acid reducers, like ranitidine, to help manage heartburn symptoms. Consult your doctor or prescribing physician to discuss alternative dosing schedules or medications. They can help you balance the benefits of Tryptomer with its side effects.
