Hi...
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You have problem of tenderness below ribcage that may be because of gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux problem or other reasons.
Ultrasonograph is helpful for diagnosis.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis and treatment plan.
Clinical examination of site and investigation give more information about it...
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
Thank you.
