Introduction

Gas is an inevitable by-product of digestion. The body produces roughly 1-3 pints of gas per day; however, most people don’t even know they’re passing it due to their odorless nature. A buildup of air or gas inside your digestive system can lead to bloating and intense abdominal cramps that might radiate up towards your rib cage.

Many factors contribute to stomach bloating like eating too fast or drinking carbonated drinks too quickly (we all love soda bubbles). Bloating causes irritation around the diaphragm area leading to painful sensations under the ribs (and let’s not forget about those cute hiccups).

Causes of Pain Under Right Breast

Pain/Discomfort located directly below or to one side of anyone’s chest wall may undoubtedly signal health issues concerning vital organs at times -the lungs or heart., But alas!, many trivial problems arise from having excessive gases lurking in our intestines:

If left unchecked for extended periods—long-term inflammation might result in severe esophagus damage; subsequently leading to additional damaged areas close by like cardiac tissue if untreated.

Costochondritis

Our Rib-cage is held together at its joints with elastic tissue called “Costocartilage”.. This cartilage quickly gets inflamed when subjected to pressure – such as excessive coughing fits leading torment soaring underneath your right boob (Ouch). This problem usually goes away within a month naturally, but sometimes Doctors may also prescribe medication relief options available.
