It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Regular aerobic exercise may help by making your muscles stronger and more flexible. It may take 2-3 months of regular exercise to see the full effect. Wish you good health!

Saw a doctor 6 days ago about discomfort under my left rib cage and a tight chest and got medication for inflammation. He said I'd need an x-ray if things don't change. It hasn't changed. What do I do? Could it be a collapsed lung?
