Whether surgery is needed depends on the exact diagnosis, size, and severity of the condition. Some cases can be managed without surgery, while others may require it for effective treatment. A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm a bit concerned about something I've noticed with my chest area. On the left side, where my ribs are, it seems more distended compared to the right side, especially after I eat. It's often linked with gas or indigestion, but there's no pain, and it doesn't happen every timeit just catches my attention when it does. Sometimes, I can even hear what sounds like my rib rubbing or adjusting. Does this sound like something I should be worried about?

I'm having some weird symptoms that are really worrying me. Sometimes my stomach makes these burping sounds, and I have this cough-like feeling and a lump in my throat. My chest feels tight, mostly on the left side but sometimes on the right too, and it gets really hard to lie down comfortably. I'm getting anxious and scared that it might be a heart attack or something serious. I haven't been able to sleep well for a long time. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
