Costocondritis : Costocondritis is an inflammation in the cartilage of the ribs. It can be from a virus or just mild trauma or irritation. The cartilage has poor circulation and heals slowly. If the area is tender to touch that makes it very likely. See your pcp to make sure.

Spleen would B lower: Than under boobs. More than likely your acid reflux is kicking in, and you may be experiencing heartburn, since that is also part of your medical history. Watch the type of foods you are eating, or food combination. Also, too much processed, greasy foods can cause this too. Best to eat organic, less pesticide, processed chemicals if your GI tract is sensitive.See your doctor if it continues for xm.
