Why is upper right rib area pain worsening?

Started to have a pain in my upper right area near rib cage about 12 hours ago. Mainly dull, but becomes a sharp pain when deeply breathing through mouth. When laughing it is uncomfortable and I get shortness of breath.

You might be experiencing a condition related to your liver or gallbladder. I recommend visiting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, avoid heavy meals and monitor any other symptoms.

Can you help me I keep waking up in the middle of the night and feeling nauseous.

you should see an endocrinologist to exclude underlying GI conditions which may be the source of your symptoms. Midnight nausea may indicate acid reflux or other gastrointestinal disorders.

What food is best is ice cream, tea cakes, fibre flakes ok if I have chronic ibs

Male | 42

If you are suffering from chronic IBS, the best diet to go for would be easy foods on your tummy. Ice cream, tea cakes, and fiber flakes may be questionable choices. Ice cream might be the cause of your stomachache, and tea cakes are too sweet. On the other hand, fiber flakes could be a high-fiber one, which can trigger IBS symptoms such as bloating and cramps and therefore be a reason for the worsening of the condition. You should make it a point to eat unseasoned foods like rice, cooked vegetables, and lean proteins to assist in calming your stomach.
