A member asked:
I feel a pain on my right side ribs bone and i feel a big pain even cannot breath smoothly?

Stitch: This is familiar and common. The pleura which lines the lung and inner chest cavity folds over itself. It feels like a knife and hurts when you breathe in. Get as much air into your lungs as you can and this usually ends the attack. If it persists or difficulty breathing occurs, get with a physician.
