What Could Stony Lumps Around Ribs That S Cutting Into The Heart Indicate?
I have what feels like stones that rides up around the ribs and feels like it cutting up into my heart. I cant seem to get any help with Dr.s even acknowledging they can even exist under my ribs. I can run my finger down and press against ribs and even feel them.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should first get done
1. Chest x ray
2. Ultrasound examination of local part where you a re feeling hard lumps.
If both of the above are normal then no need to worry much.
There is nothing serious about it.
The thing you are feeling may be junction of bony rib and cartilage.
So get done above tests and if both ate normal then nothing to worry about what you are feeling.
It is just in your mind. So stop worrying about it.
