its at bottom left rib. i have no trouble with it apart from the popping. it dsnt hurt. ive had for mayb a year or more no previous chest injury that i know of
Thanks for information.
Looking at your details it looks that this popping feeling is not due to any injury or fracture.
This can be one of following-
-snapping of one of muscle over rib with movement.
-presence of a lung cyst.
-Any parasitic cyst.
Your problem needs to be evaluated by a physician.
You probably need investigations like x XXXXXXX of chest to rule out these problems.
It does not seem like cancer, please relax.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
If you are having stress then indigestion can be due to this. Indigestion can lead to increase in acid secretion, increase in flatulence, constipation or diarrhea.
