What Causes A Weird Sensation Near The Ribs?
Hello my name is Malik Hightower. I m 23 years old and I live in Virginia. I was wondering if you could tell me or explain to me as to what s going on with me. Recently, I ve been feeling this rubbing feeling on the left side my chest. Like something is rubbing against my ribs. It will go away at night and will be gone by time I wake up. Then it will start again as I progress through out the day. What exactly is that

Hi,
As such no disease is there which may give any rubbing feeling near the ribs unless you have any swelling beneath or any history of trauma so please undergo a X-ray to rule out the pathology.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Suman Saroj, Ayurveda Specialist
