A member asked:

Why am i having pain under right rib cage after drinking beer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like your --: Liver is protesting to your drinking habits. Maybe you need to change the drink. If its happening with all types of beer, then get yourself checked by your pcp. Good luck.

A member asked:

I had a couple of beers for the first time in 5-6 months. (Normally I drink liquor) The first beer went down fine but 2-3 sips into the second beer I developed chest pain and a ton of heavy thick phlegm. Could this have been an allergic reaction?

My RHR is around 50 I have palpitations when I drink coffee. HR increases a lot if I have a heavy meal or beer (to 130+) and I have difficulty taking a deep breath and chest feels heavy when it does (more likely with beer).What could be causing this?
