I have searched the forums and have come across Xiphoid Process, Protruding Sternum, and Floating Ribs.

Does anyone have any information on these or similar problems and can you tell me if it is life threatening or something to be concerned about?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I took it as the middle of the ribs. Your guess is as good as mine Maybe she will come back and better explain what she is trying to describe to us.
