A member asked:

It appears there is air trap under my left ribs and it is affecting my breathing along with excruciating pain/ what is the remedy to assist in clearing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The feeling could be due to many reasons eg a local strain/sprain fracture. Best is to see your doc soon . Sometimes local heat and Ibuprofen help while you wait to see the doc
