Difficult to say: Without more of your medical history and a physical exam, it's impossible to say. The middle of your rib cage contains your heart, lungs, at the bottom, your stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, on the right, liver. I see you have had a lump removed recently, it could have something to do with that, but definitely contact a primary care doctor for an exam and thorough history, goodluck.
