A member asked:
I tried to vomit a tummy bug up to get rid of it, and this was on a empty stomach. i got a vivid pain under my lower right side of my ribcage. why?

If it was just: Transient, then it is probably just due to a spasm in your diaphragm. If it remained for any significant amount of time, i would recommend seeing a physician.
