What Causes Pain On The Right Side, Under The Rib Cage?

I had pain in my right side - like the kind you get when you run/walk too far too fast - but was doing neither of those. The pain then included my left side - just under my rib cage. I got light headed & dizzy. I turned pale. I drank a sugared drink, rested, ate some soup & bread the symptoms subsided after about 20 minutes. 5 hours later, the symptoms returned.

Hello,

It could be due to conditions like costochondritis.

As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
