What is under right rib cage with spasms?

Are you feeling like a human maraca lately? Are your right ribcage spasms making you bounce around like a cactus in the desert during an earthquake? Well, fear not! This article will explore what could be causing those pesky spasms and share some tips on how to get rid of them.

Anatomy Lesson

Let’s start our journey by taking a closer look at the anatomy of the right rib cage. The rib cage consists of 12 pairs of ribs that connect to the spine and wrap around to attach to the breastbone or sternum. Fun Fact: The lowest two ribs are often referred to as floating ribs because they do not attach directly to the sternum.

The area underneath your right rib cage contains several organs, including:

  • Liver
  • Gallbladder
  • Upper portion of your intestines
  • Kidney (on your right side)

So when you experience pain or discomfort in this area, it could be related to one or more of these organs.

Acid Reflux or Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus, circulates in bloodstream & contracts with smooth muscles causing PAIN an obvious discomfort under the rib cage also giving that bitter lovely taste to mouth which almost prompts you to cry out of frustration.

Gallstones

We’ve all heard of bladder stones but have you ever heard about gallstones? They are solid deposits that form in your gallbladder, a small organ located just below your liver. When these bad boys get stuck in one of the ducts leading from the gallbladder , it can cause uncomfortable spasms and pain on the right side underneath your ribcage.
