I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some slight pain in my lower left rib area for the past 10 days. It's mostly noticeable when I lie down on my bed for a few seconds. It doesn't feel like the rib bones themselves are hurting, but more like something underneath or nearby them. I've never smoked and haven't had any lung issues in the past, but I did have COVID about a year ago. Do you think this could be something related to my lungs or heart?

I've got this sudden sharp pain in my left rib when I breathe in, and it started while I was just sitting at my desk at work. It's been half a day, and it hasn't gone away. I can't take a full deep breath. Do you think this will just go away on its own, or should I be worried?

I've been jogging for the past 9 months and it was going great until last month. Now I'm experiencing shortness of breath even with minimal physical activity and I can't jog or cycle like I used to. I've seen both a cardiologist and a pulmonologist, and my reports are normal. I just can't seem to shake off this feeling. Also, I lost 10 kgs through jogging without any weight loss supplements. Any idea what's going on with me?
