Just checking in to say that after four days I am feeling better, but I still feel that someone is squeezing my ribs.. this is how my attacks usually start - severe pain in my upper abdomen, just below the sternum and the sense that someone has their hands on my waist, just about lower rib level and is squeezing them. Right now i just feel a bit tight in the ribs. I have called a nutritionist, and my GP... I've been mostly eating soup and soft food.. Does anyone else experience the same onset pain?
