Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation near the rib cage . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like neuropathy , chest pain like angina , acid reflux and chest infection . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine with stethoscope , order chest x-ray and chesk vitals along with ECG and blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may also refer you to chest specialist in case of chest infection and gastroenterologist for acid reflux . For now eat light and non spicy food ,apply warm compresses on affected area and and take proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
