What Could Persistent Pain Under The Ribs Indicate?
I have a really bad pain up underneath my ribs. breathing is slightly difficult at times and is daily constant but worsens after i eat even a small amount of food. I noticed pain in this area when I was running a few weeks ago and it came back after i ran the other day and had been quite constant since.

Hi.
Based on your symptoms there is most likely a gastric cause (most likely to be a gastric ulcer (as you experience pain after a meal), I would recommend a visit to a gastroenterologist to get elaborately evaluated.
Best wishes.
