Suggest Treatment For A Stabbing Pain Underneath The Breasts

Hello. For the past 5 years or so i have had a pain come a go. Its approximately once a week. It happens randomly and feels like a stabbing pain on my left underneath my bust. I cannot take a full breath while its happening and it normally lasts around 5 minutes. What could this be? I saw a doctor about 3 years ago who said it was my rib alignment and i would grow out of it, bit it has not stopped?

The pain underneath left breast, coming off and on suggests:
1. Swelling in the stomach. This gets increased with spicy food and relieved with antacids.
2. Swelling of the pancreas gland which is situated just under the stomach.
3. Even amoebic infection can also give rise to such pain. Get your stools examined. Take a stool softener previous night, discard first sample of stools and collect last portion of the second sample.
4. Swelling in the lower area of left lung. X-ray will be of use.
5. Heart pain. Please get cardiogram done to rule out thus cause.
You will have to first get opinion of a surgeon for precise treatment, and then if advised, a physician.
