Can The Cause Of Pain In Chest Be Due To Floating Rib?

I m a woman who s 37 years old for the past 8 month I have experience sharp pains under my left boob . I been to the hospital had my heart check and was told it s ok , my family doctor said it was a floating rib then 1 month later it changed to gurd I was given medication that done nothing for me . I went back and was told it was my gallbladder so I rushed to the hospital only to find out my gallbladder was perfect and nothing was wrong didn t even have gallstones , today I woke feeling in pain like I was having a heart attack rushed into the hospital only to be told to give a pee sample , the sample came back their was blood in my pee . And once again to go see my family doctor what is the cause of my chest pain it feels like it s heart attack ?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for heart attack because your heart related reports are normal.
You are having blood in urine.
So possibility of kidney infection or stone is more.
In both these conditions, pain and blood in urine are present.
So better to get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out kidney related problems.
Of this is also normal than no need to worry for any major diseases.
Your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal cause, may be due to floating rib.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Avoid movements causing pain and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
