Left ribs popping -full feeling

[Laurajayuk]

Hi, I'm new here. Not to anxiety though. Have suffered in silence for 15 years.
Left ribs popping*/full

I'm having a fullness/uncomfortable pain under my left bottom ribs. Tender to touch and a popping sound when bending over. Freaking out. Please help me.
I Don't need painkillers it's not that kind of pain. More uncomfortable, worse when sitting. Very tender.*
Stitch like?*
Sometimes just under left breast too.
Can also feel pulse pounding there if that makes sense.
What could it be?

Hi laurajayuk,

I get this too. It's as if my anxiety 'picks a spot' to manifest in. If I do some deep breathing/meditation it eases up a bit, and when I'm not fully anxious or very distracted I don't feel it.

Sometimes I get it after eating (at least I think it can be connected) and I'll take an antacid. The main point for me is that, in the good few months I managed to get a grip on the anxiety, I didn't notice this at all. Since becoming anxious again (especially relating to heart worries) it's back.

I even went to a chiro for the popping ribs and he said a lot of people experience it due to your bottom ribs being 'floating'.

For me, poking it and feeling around actually makes it worse.
