See a doctor: May be related to musculoskeletal causes, trauma, infection or inflammation. Hard to tell without more history and an exam. Please see your doctor

Rib pain: That depends on if it is skeletal or muscular. I would start with a good exam by a physician and reflect on if you have had any injury to the area, shortness of breath? Overexertion? A good exam and history is place to start for this issue!
