Pain below your ribs can be caused by your GI tract, like GERD, indigestion, gallbladder disease, or constipation, or problems with your lungs, like pneumonia. You may also have nausea, bloating, chest pain, coughing, or pain that's worse when you breathe in.
What causes pain in the upper part of the stomach?
Stomach pain is pain in the abdomen and it's one of the most common reasons people visit the doctor's office. Upper stomach pain may be caused by GERD, heartburn, gastritis, pancreatitis and ulcers.
On the left side, this includes your heart, left lung, pancreas, spleen, stomach, and left kidney. When any of these organs are infected, inflamed, or injured, pain can radiate under and around the left rib cage.
