What Causes Occasional Pain On The Right Side Of The Rib Cage?

I have an occasional pain on my right side below my rib cage. I know I am not constipated - I go to the bathroom 2-3x/day. I am 66, female and weigh 220; way too much. I take 10 mg. of BP meds, 10 mg of Lipitor and that s it. My last blood test showed my liver counts out of the normal range. I want to believe it is nothing to be concerned about so right now I am ignoring it.
