Dear- thanks for using our service and understand your concern.First of all, it is very important that you are aware of your family history so you can prevent coronary artery disease and diabetes with diet control and exercise. You have a BMI of 21 which is in the normal range, so your weight is perfect. Your rib and back pain is probably from the body recovery after recent pregnancy and will improve .You should do exercise in order to keep your muscles strong.Do not worry , the breathing problem could be from the same changes in your body. Just watch and if does not improve in 2 month,have a checkup with your doctor.
