I noticed that my ribs are more obvious when I lie down, right underneath my boobs. What could be the cause of this? My stomach is flat but not completely, my waist is 30. 5 inches. I don?t think I?m skinny enough for my ribs to be showing when I lie down. Is everything ok?

Dear user, that is completely normal. Unless you have breathlessness or fever you need not worry. It is a normal phenomenon as gravity plays a role in the skin from falling back and lying over the ribs. Your ribs will be more obvious even when you raise your hands above your head as an act of streching. You can consult me for more doubts regarding this online by clicking on my photo and booking an appointment however, if you found my answer helpful, please leave a positive feedback as it helps me with my practice. Thank you.
