Weird left lower rib pressure..not pain..

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hi all- back again with another annoying random not particularly terrible symptom (I don’t think!)...Last week I was on antibiotics for tonsillitis and it went away fine (z pack erythromycin) no issues except a bit of diarrhea..typical..I feel fine, that did the trick but on the last day of it and ever since, I’ve felt a weird sensation in my lower left rib cage..not painful, not even squeezing..just a pressure feeling..it’s not always noticeable but has been present most days for about a week now..I’ve heard this is the area of spleen or gall bladder..I feel fine otherwise, no pain, fever, nausea or anything like that, just a very weird feeling. I also got my period during that time and ate seafood a few times as I was on vacation but don’t think either of those things have anything to do with it. I just wondered if anyone else had felt this weird feeling..? I’m guessing it will go away like the other annoying symptoms but so far it’s still hanging on🤨 Take care all and thanks for any feedback! ??

    hi Amy, I to just finished a round of the same antibiotic, mine was for a sinus infection that moved to my chest. I have just recently started having sharp pains in my left ribcage. sometimes it's so sharp it takes my breath away. I dont have the weird feeling, just intermitten random jabs of pain. this mess is awesome isn't it?! 🙄
