Hi,
If you feel that left ribs are protruding out then there has to be a reason.
Generally, the reason is a curvature in the spine.
I suggest orthopedic consultation to find out the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
