Thing between the ribs?
Hello,
I've noticed for a while now that something is sticking out between my ribs in the middle of my stomach (see attached picture). It feels a bit harder than the skin and stretches the skin further outward, making me look as if I'm fat.
Also, my stomach throbs when I feel there.
Does anyone know what these complaints are or
Do I have to see a doctor?
This is your star (breastbone), and the nubble your processus xiphoideus (rescue). In some people, the bit is more round and also a bit forward, or a little bent on the right side as with you.
What you feel is your heart, which is on the right side under the ribbing arch.
Since you are very slim, you can see your sword progression more clearly!
At the next doctor’s visit, you’ll talk about it, okay?
Thank you.
Is that dangerous or is it going to go away with growing?
This can change if you still take a few kilos, but on the bone itself, nothing will change.
The sword continuation is on the picture of the “”green“” small bones on the sternum!

That’s not dangerous, everyone has it!
The sword extension is on this picture, but on top of me.
This thing is here with me (see picture I added to the question):
That’s not my heart. It pocht in the stomach to intestinal area
If you have any complaints, go to the doctor.
Here at the Laienforum nobody could help you even if you could really see something on the picture.
This should be urgently looked at by a doctor and checked, above all. The picture is so bad that you hardly realize anything.
If you worry, go to the doctor.
If you want to have certainty go to the doctor. It’s enough for the doctor.
