right where my ribs are it hurts a lot!

maybe cuss you been exericseing and your body is not used to it yet

Or you might be having a reaction to something you ate.

Or your diapham is having problems. When I’m sick with bronchitus and such, that area really hurts a lot. Generally from all the coughing.

Though, I’m a guy, so there’s slight differences in physiology.

maybe god is making a person out of your rib jk sry that was the first thing that came to mind whaen you said rib maybe if it hurts enough a fractured rib. or maybe something hit you in that area and it bruised or still hurts, you might want to google it

In the chest area?

Well, first, is it around the center, like near the heart? Because when I was much younger, I tore a muscle in my chest it it grew back slightly funny, and whenever I got out of shape, it would constrict on my heart’s arteries just a little bit. It would be like having a slight amount of heartburn that wouldn’t go away if I did something too strenuous.

At the same time, you might have pulled a shoulder or back muscle, and the pain is reverberating through the general area. Think of your muscle as bungie straps. When I move my arm, there are muscles, tendons, and ligaments that are moving all the way down into my lower back. This is true with various connected tissues throughout the body.

Or, you might be having heart or lung problems from something that’s made you sick. If it doesn’t go away in a couple of days, I’d see a doctor.
