Hi,Welcome for your query to HCM.
I studied your query and found it to be with much less details.
Based on the facts of your case-
You seems to have stitch like feeling while you sit at computer whole day.
In my opinion Prima facie-you seem to have Left colic flexure IBS / or colitis
-as you have air moving pain with it and stitch like feel in the left side of the abdomen/chest with all tests Normal and with no pain on deep breathing.
Main challenge in your query is To find out the exact cause of the stitch like pain on left side of ?abdomen or ?Lower chest as your query does not mention the exact site and location of the pain.Please update on this also.
On reviewing the contents of your query,it needs more information as follows-
What is the exact location of the left side pain?is dull ache / or lightening,cutting ,pinching type?
How that pain started?Any feverishness with it?
Is the air moving feel is with colicks and gurgles and loos motions with it?
Any mucus in stools sometimes,when air movement is felt?
Update the reports of stool/USG/Blood tests.
Prima facie Opinion-Prima facie ,you seem to have Left colic flexure IBS / or colitis.
Primary Suggestions-
Avoid spicy food/ and outside or street food
Tab Cyclopam (Paracetamol with Dicyclomine like antispasmodic)with script from your GP doctor
Tab Oflox with Metrogyl -to control gurgling and air moving feel.
For more possibilities and their corrective suggestions,I await more information as asked above.
