What Causes Indentation On Left Rib From Birth And Persistent Chest Pain?

My left rib, right under my boob, has been indented since I was born. I don t have pain under the rib, but it is sensitive when you push on the indented part. I have had chest pains over the past 2 years, been to a cardiologist, and said my heart was fine, so it wasn t my heart causing these chest pains, it s something else. I also, have shortness of breath, like I can t breathe in enough air half the time. Can this rib be fixed? How can I find out if it s the reason I have these chest pains and shortness of breath?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms can be managed in tentative basis with PPI and best option would be "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg" once in day at evening time, try to keep the stress level very low, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
