Have an on/off tightening under my left ribs with occasional difficult deep breath. 2 ekg tests in 2012/2013 said my heart is good. what can b wrong?

Sounds: A little vague: need more info. Possibly do fluoroscopy (x-ray) of that area to see if allmoving. You may just need pt. If it is a rare occurenence , just see what happens. Rerurn to md for further eval as necessary-no more ekg's for that.
