What Causes Pressure And Soreness Under Left Rib And Heaviness In Chest?

Hi, I have had an odd feeling under my left rib for a few days now. I noticed it after a workout a few weeks ago but didn t really notice it again until a few days ago. Feels like pressure under left rib... No pain, however sometimes feel soar. Sometimes left chest area also feels sore and sometimes my chest feels heavy but mostly just an annoying weird knot feeling under rib. Getting very anxious about it and I think anxiety is making it 10 times worse. I am 24, male, 6 ft, 230 pounds. Might be unrelated but couple of weeks ago I got a red very sensitive bump under my left armpit that went away and came back but has since been gone. Stopped using deodorant and haven t noticed anything. Going to try sensitive skin deodorant. Might be a just sensitive skin or ingrown hair. Also might be unrelated but I just cleaned both ears with qtips and one ear had speck of blood from outer ear and one ear had speck of blood from inner ear. Freaked me out. Can t go to the doctor for a couple of weeks because of insurance purposes and just wanted advice beforehand. Anxiety is making me really bad.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
thanks for asking youe question
I completely understand your problem
this feeling of heaviness or soreness can be due to workout or any injury during workout .I there is pain or pain persists for more than a week you should geta chest xray done and consult a pulmonologist and regarding your ear problem ,don't use any object like matchstick to clean up your ear you can use some branded cotton buds to clean that too occasionally..seems like this bleed was from external ear .and regarding other ear you should consult a ent specialist to rule out the cause and before the infection flares up

thanks
may god bless you with good health
