Hello Sandra,
Welcome to healthcare magic.com and thanks for sharing your concern with us.
Such discomfort below rib cage can be due to different conditions like appendicitis , gallstones , liver diseases , pancreas problems , GERD, Peptic ulcers, IBD, or Trauma . Occasional discomforts are quite common and not a matter of concern . But if the pain and discomfort is persisting , recurrent then it's highly recommended to get ultrasound CT abdomen done to rule out any serious issue after consulting with your gastroenterologist .
I wish you good health.
Best Regards,
DR.S.TOMAR
