What Causes Discomfort In The Ribs?

i get a bubbly/windy feeling I my side just below my left ribs. When I have this feeling I feel a little out of breath and my heart seems to miss beats. I also have gastric at least once daily. I have been following a low fodmap diet which has helped a lot but lately it has been playing up more. What can I do

Hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As you are having discomfort in the left side of the ribs below, i will recommend for the X-ray at the first to see if any bony or lung pathology is present. As by performing the respiratory assessment by ascultation of the lungs the breathing mechanism can be understood. Also, you have gastric issues, so can be a possibility the discomfort is because of it. But an X-ray of the lungs will help to differentiate if the pain due to lung pathology or due to gastric.
