I'm having a bit of a worrying situation here. I had some serious gas troubles yesterday and took a Rantac 300mg tablet last night and again this morning. The gas issue seems sorted, but now I'm feeling a sharp pain under my right ribs whenever I take a deep breath. On top of that, my neck is hurting, and the pain under my ribs gets worse when I'm sitting or lying on my right side. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may have irritation or inflammation in the area under your right ribs, possibly from acid reflux or a muscular issue. Since the pain worsens with breathing and movement, consider seeing a doctor to rule out any serious conditions like gallbladder or liver problems. Meanwhile, continue avoiding heavy meals, and take Rantac as prescribed.

I'm really concerned about something I've been experiencing for the past six months. Every morning during bowel movements, I feel like something is getting stuck at the end of my anal area. Today, I took a picture of my anal region and noticed a swelling in one corner that seems like it might be a sentinel pile fissure. What could this possibly be, and what should I do next?

For rib pain, consider consulting: 1. General Physician (GP) for initial evaluation. 2. Orthopedic Specialist for musculoskeletal issues. 3. Gastroenterologist for possible gastrointestinal causes. 4. Pulmonologist for lung-related issues. If the pain is severe, sudden, or accompanied by breathing difficulties, seek emergency care.
