What Could Be An Elevated Left Part Of Rib Cage Right Under The Pecs Than Right Side With Some Solid Lumps?

Hello, I was just wondering what could possibly be wrong with me, the left part of my rib cage right under the pecs is a lot more raised than my right side and there is a some what solid lump there which I can subtly feel and sometime get little pulses of feeling/pain go through it. When I suck my stomach in the upper part of my rib cage does not look right at all, the left side goes up in a strange way whilst the right doesn t really at all.

Hi
I dont think there is anything serious with your rib cage. Get an x ray done of chest for ribs. It might be small fracture of rib in past which give bump like swelling. The pulse you feel on right side is of heart.
If you have pain there get an ecg done.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
