Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Since the ultrasound as well as the blood work came normal, it is highly unlikely that it needs immediate attention. Sometimes inflammation around the ribs may cause similar pain, which comes on and off, the condition being known as costochondritis. It settles down on taking pain-killers. Can you try a course of Advil twice daily after food, and let me know if the symptoms improve?
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.

Thanks for your reply,
Is there anyway through lifestyle changes or any other approach that I could prevent these episodes if it is costochondritis?
Unfortunately the cause of costochondritis is mostly labelled to be idiopathic. It still has not been established, what is the major cause of this inflammation.
Kindly take the medicines and let me know if it helps.
Regards.
