PLEASE help~ Discomfert in center of chest! something with ribs??

Okay, I was sitting in a odd position with my head leaning against the bar of my bed and no lower back support, and there was a CLICK in the center of m chest. This has happened before when I was in an uncomfertable position, but then the (rib i think) always pops back.
This time I couldn't get it to pop back, and I'm nervous if this is a bad sign or something.  I feel a heavy discomfert in the center of my chest (Its gradualy going away now...)
It's not "hurting" just alot of pressure and right afterward it was uncomfertable to sit up and  bend (still is). Is there a way to "pop" it back?
I'm a 15 yr old female if that matters... XD

Well, an ulcer is an area of tissue or abnormal tissue that is inflamed, and discharges pus.

But ulcers under the skin are more inflamatory, because they are an internal mucous surface, which will lead to the death of that tissue.

Basically a confined area of dying tissue that will cause discomfort.

I doubt that is it though, unless the discomfort continues.

But it is most likely growing pains hence the movement of your ribs. :D

Your welcome, (:

Well my girlfriend has had similar symptoms like this, and she has had surgery, but not in her chest region. She just recenty had to take medication for it. The doctor said her ovaries were twisting, and it was inflaming and putting pressure on her chest.

It could also be a cyst on your ovaries.

And my last thought is an ulcer. It could be under your skin causing you discomfort.
You might just have growing pains. I get the same pains sometimes, and I'm a guy that's 15

no, I did Have a really constant panic attack yesterday.... But nothing else i hope.   It feels like my ribs have just shifted, and when it has happened before, it has always clicked back. It just feels like pressure between the top of my rib cages when ever I bend. It happened about half an hour ago, and it's feeling better, but I'm tired and kind of nervous to go to sleep....
