What Causes Pressure Under The Left Rib Cage?

For years I have had some sort of pressure around my ribs of the left side. Bras have always bothered me. Now I seem to have pressure under my left breast and to the left in my ribs and down to my kidney area. Every once in a while there is a little ting of pain. Not strong. Could this be my hiatal hernia?

Hello,

Pressure and pain around the ribs may be muscular in origin. Hiatus hernia will cause regurgitation, burning sensation and upper abdominal pain.

I suggest you to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and thus management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you and take care.
