Brief Answer:
Needs further investigation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern, however more information is needed in order to give you an informed opinion.
This type of pain can be indicative of a heart problem, which requires immediate medical attention, or it could simply be an intestinal problem such as trapped gas or constipation.
There is also the possibility of a kidney stone with this kind of pain, or an enlarged spleen. Your past medical history could be crucial in determining the right diagnosis. So I recommend you see a doctor as soon as possible for a physical examination and testing.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have further questions.
Take care
