Muscle pain in chest

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

I have muscle pain in my chest from last 2 years, I don't know if it is due to smoking, sleeping upside down or due to my stomach pain or fat. When I press under my rib cage, I feel crackling. I feel pain between the lungs and stomach near the rib cage and it happens on both sides. Not very much but I can feel it. I had an VATs surgery in the past.
