A member asked:
Can an ulcer cause difficulty breathing? the origin of discomfort is under left rib. no burning or pain, just constricted. bending over exacerbates it

Pulmonary problem: My impression is that you could have a pulmonary infection or a sore rib cage (not an ulcer) . A chest xray with special views of the left rib cage is recommended. A thorough exam is required. Best wishes.
