Brief Answer:
Pancreatitis is possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think the pain that you are having on left side below breast and a bit on right may be caused by pancreas issues possibly pancreatitis.
I can suggest you to do an abdominal ultrasound also measure the enzyme levels of amylase and lipase.
If these tests come out clear you may need to do a x-ray of spine to check the vertebrae and intervertebral discs because an issue with your spine may cause nerve compressions and pain in the area below ribs.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
