What Is The Cause Of Pain Below Rib Cage And Is It Related To Ovulation?

I am a 45 year old female who has been having a pain in my left front below my rib cage. It feels like something is inside there squeezing it. I have noticed a couple of similar things but not sure has anything to do with it. One is it bothered me all day after I drank a smoothie made with frozen fruit, banana and apple juice. The other time I think I have noticed it more is when I might be ovulating. Although I am only having periods few and far in between I think I notice this pain when it would be the time to be ovulating. Also have noticed I've been nauseated lately. What is wrong with me?

There is no relation with smoothie..bt there can be relation with menstruation...there is a terminology call 'premenstruation syndrome', where there is pain in breasts just before menstruation. I think you should consult gynecologist. They are better person to tell you
