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

I am having pain on my right side, under the lower part of my rib cage on my right side. No nausea or vomiting, just a dull pain that seems to come and go intermittently - yet constantly. just started about two hours ago. Could this be a gall bladder problem?

It could be a referred pain possibly due to gastritis. Please avoid spicy food and take tablet pantoprazole before food for 10 days.
