[|Human|] I have light pain on the lower left side of my ribs. The last time I experienced this was a couple months ago. Also,though I don t know if this has anything to do with this, but I m experiencing shortening of breath. I feel like no matter how much air I breathe in or how hard I breathe in, I just can t get enough air. And I don t know if its just me, but I feel like the area where the pain is, is a little bigger than my right side.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for your query. Firstly the pain under the left side of the rib cage may be due to Gastritis(Inflammation of the stomach). I advise would be to avoid spicy and greasy food. Prescribe proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. A gastrostomy will help in the diagnosis. Secondly it may be due to pancreatitis(Inflammation of pancreas). Stop smoking and alcohol if any. Blood tests like serum amylase and lipase will help in the diagnosis. Thirdly kidney stones. X-ray of the PUB will help in the diagnosis. Antispasmodic for pain. Increased intake of water is advised. The size and site of the stone determines whether the treatment is medical or surgical. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
