What Causes Discomfort Below The Ribcage After Eating And Drinking?

I have fairly severe discomfort in my diaphragm region just below my ribcage after eating or drinking. The pain has been going on for about a week now. It usually starts about an hour after eating or drinking anything, and can last for 5 hours or more.
