Ibs?

hi there. I've been having some discomfort in my upper back and stomach below my breastbone and all around my rib cage. The pain is only there sometimes, and the pain it feels like I'm winded when I take deep breaths and breathe out. I'm a bit of a worrier, and I always think it's something bad, but it is bothering me. I've been having hard stools for the passed 3 weeks and I've been having lots of gas... My lower abdomen is also tender sometimes and when I press below my breastbone it sometimes hurts as well. Also I don't know of this is linked, but when I'm writing or doing something with my right arm, I can feel a bit of tightness in my right upper back, not sure if this is a strain of a muscle, or is linked to the stomach pain in some way. 

any comments would be appreciated 

thanks guys X 

Ask your Dr to see if he thinks you have gallstones. It's easy to check. Try eating more less complex fibre and that might help.

Your symptoms might be IBS but see your doctor for tests to rule out other causes first.

Have you been to the doctors?
