Question 8

Accepted Answer

Very hard to say: Lilly T, you are young and from a Caribbean country.  If you have been injured, it probably is bruised ribs and they take a long time to heal.  They may get worse if you lie on them while they are not healed.  If you have not had ANY injury, or if you are having any fever, it could be something in your  heart or lungs so you should be checked.  good luck to you.
