Bones are a very important part of the human body structure. The main framework of the human body is supported by bones. I believe many people know that people’s bones are very hard, but this hard part is also prone to problems. Some people sometimes find that the ribs under their left breast are very painful. When this happens, many people don't know why. So what are the possible reasons that may cause people to experience pain in the ribs under the left breast?

1. What is the cause of rib pain under the left breast?

1. Pain in the left chest ribs is generally caused by intercostal neuralgia. Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. A chest X-ray is needed for examination. Oral medication such as acetaminophen and codeine tablets can be taken for treatment. In this case, you can go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to see if there are any other problems. In normal times, you should pay attention to rest, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance your physical fitness.

2. The cause of left chest rib pain may be lung disease, heart disease, or pleurisy. If it is a lung disease, then under normal circumstances it should have a certain impact on your respiratory function, such as tingling when breathing, increased coughing, and changes in sputum. If it is a heart disease, you can try to see if there is pain in your left shoulder. If there is pain, then the possibility of heart disease is greater. In addition, heart disease will become more and more serious, which is related to the length of time you are in pain. It is recommended that you do a chest X-ray examination. If the X-ray does not find any problems, then do a CT observation. If the pain is caused by inflammation that stimulates the pleura, then it will be well displayed on the CT.
