Hi,
This symptom most commonly occurs in gastritis or GERD kind of conditions. However, since it is occurring on both the lower ribs area, it needs further evaluation. It could be due to costochondritis also.
You may require an upper GI endoscopy. However, before getting any investigations done, please get yourself examined by your primary care physician to plan the management.
I wish you recover quickly.
