Why Does It Feel Like My Ribs Are Overlapping Each Other?

Hi, the lower ribs on my left side overlap near the sternum where the rib cage starts to curve in. I can feel what I think are the 6th and 7th ribs with the 8th rib underneath them. Should that ring any alarm bells? There's no pain associated it with it currently. It can sometimes be uncomfortable, especially when lying down.
