I have a discomfort left side below ribs. Sometimes it is really uncomfortable. Comes and goes and has done so for a couple of years. I feel bloated and pass a lot of wind. Notice it more when sitting at work (computer operator) and when I m feeling stressed. I have put on weight and always tired. My doctor pressed around my stomach and didn t feel anything.

Hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As you mentioned your symptoms and also visited the doctor which was nothing serious, i feel it must be just gastritis. As you have put on weight, you are always tired and your age is 58, i feel your metabolism is slow and needs an attention.
Performing regular exercises, yoga, meditation, aerobics, etc will help improve your metabolism. Also, on a longer run, your pain and aches which may trouble you due to ageing will be delayed or avoided. For improving the body's metabolism, one needs to perform exercises.
In my clinical practice i meet regularly patients with similar complaints, and i put them on physical therapy, after 4-6 weeks of time, the feel better and energetic. Also, exercise will help lose weight and look brighter.
