What Causes Pain Below Rib Cage, Bloating And Fatigue?

The last couple of days I ve noticed a pain below the bottom left rib cage. It is not a stabbing pain but more a full dull pain & slight pressure that is pretty much constant. The pain will get worse or lessen depending upon if I m sitting, standing or lying down. With my hand I ve tried to feel on the outside if there s a lump but I can t feel one. But when I m moving from inside I feel like there s something in there. And I ve been very tired. And if I eat too much it feels like my abdomen region is bloated.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
It is called as epigastric pain with you also have bloating and fatigue, the causes might be acute gastritis, dyspepsia,gastric ulcer,duodenal ulcer or gastroenteritis etc..
You can undergo routine tests like blood and electrolytes,urea, creatinine, ultrasound of abdomen and if still no diagnosis then endoscopy
( upper GIT).
Meanwhile you can take digestive engymes,proton pump inhibitors,prokinetic agents but only after your doctor's advise.
You should consult gastroenterologist for further advise.
