What Causes Severe Pain Below The Rib Cage?

I have been working out for a few months. Last week I noticed pain in my ribcage area by my left breast. Was mild but after exercising each day has gotten worse. Advil helps but I feel pain more during workout. What did I do and how do I make it feel better?

Hello there,
Thanks for your post on HealthcareMagic.
I carefully read your problem and understand your point of concern.

Pain under left rib case has many possibilities like-
Peptic ulcer disease,
Heart problem,
Stone in the left kidney.
Local trauma by exercise.

I think your pain is due to some heart problem, because it worse after exercise and during heavy work.
Don't worry, by proper treatment after diagnosis you will be fine in few days.

Now you need to consult with a cardiologist for diagnosis of your cardiac problem and treatment if any problem have.

Think it will help you.
Wish your quick recovery.
Regards
Dr. Atiqul
