I was sitting on my couch this morning and all of the sudden, I had a very distinct and sharp pain in my rib cage on the right side. It hurts when I take a deep breath. I can press on a specific location and make it worse. It feels like the pain is a muscle on the "outside" of my rib cage vs. pain under my rib cage. As this has been going on now for several hours, I am beginning to really freak out. Both my parents died of lung disease from smoking. I don't smoke but I saw their slow painful deaths and I greatly fear dying that way. I also know I should drink less and since this pain is roughly over my liver, I am super worried about that too. I also had some blood work done a few months ago that showed I had a fatty liver. Anyway, I am trying to hold it together. Thanks for listening.
