Q: Having a sharp stabbing pain under right breast when I breathe

The pain started last night and eased off after showering but it's several hours later and the stabbing pain came back after I ate lunch.  My right arm has a little numbness as well, hand is cold.

Have you had your gallbladder checked? Your arm being numb may not be related but may be anxiety or something else. With your hand being cold, I would suggest a spinal alignment, such as a chiropractor to check that. But if after eating you get nauseous or throw up or have pain like that, have your gallbladder checked, it is right under your right breast. When you breathe suggests gas and that could relate to it too. I had all of this and was full of gallstones. good luck
