What Does Bloating And Painful Swelling Under The Rib-cage Indicate?

i have been having to what i feel like is severe bloating in stomach . When i sit down, i feel like something is being shoved up under my lower rib cage...It hurts to push on area between my ribs, ribs get tender at time also. I thought i would use probiotics to help but it just seems to make it worse. At times when i eat, i dont have to eat very much (example:1/2 burger w /5 steak fries)and it feels as though i have stuffed myself tremendously. so much pressure it effects my ability to breath deeply.
