Hi everyone, today I’ve been getting on and off this weird creaky feeling in one spot on my back ribs when I breathe in. It isn’t painful at all, just feels weird, like a bag being crumpled up for a second or two. I am paranoid this means I will have a spontaneous lung collapse at any second, as I am tall and thin (don’t smoke or have any family history of that though). That’s something I’ve been paranoid about getting ever since I first read about it online.

I do have pretty bad acid reflux/indigestion, as well as seasonal allergies, could either of these be the culprit? I’ve been burping a ton today.

I also could replicate almost the exact feeling in a different area on my chest just by pressing on my ribs earlier (now I can’t for whatever reason) - does that mean it’s definitely not my lungs? I did work out pretty hard for the first time in a while 4 days ago (chest and arms)...could that be it? I’m 19 years old btw.
