I think I may have an enlarged spleen

Pain started Friday I just stretched down to pick something up , felt as something was hitting my rib cage .it’s slowly getting worse woke me up last night at 4 am can’t sleep on with side .pain when breathing in and can’t cough without it taking me breath away :(

Anybody else had this ? And what is the treatment if it doesn’t get any better in the next 24 hrs was thinking of heading up to walk in clinic .

thanks in advance for any advice guys

Personally I’d seek medical help now in your situation.

Thank you I will go first thing tomorrow…

I know the hospital is so overstretched at week ends and the wait time is like 10 hours. .

Why do you think it would be your spleen? Have you had previous concerns with it? It sounds more like a musculoskeletal issue but keep an eye out for shingles rash!

Hope it goes or becomes obvious what's going on.
