What Causes Muscle Spasms Below The Ribcage On The Left Side?

I am having a feeling of a muscle spasm or clutching on my left side below my ribs. It is internal (like a hiccup) inside. It went away when I went to sleep and after taking 3 ibuprofen. It is back this morning. It is not constant--it comes and goes.

Get an xray chest done, without delay. It might be some lung infection, get it investigated. If it gets worse with deep breathing then respiratory condition is the cause,otherwise might be gastric too.
