What Could Cause Left Lower Sided Pain?

I am 17 years old, weigh about 68kg and am 172cm and have a good medical history (no serious injuries/problems to the body). I am experiencing pain on my lower left side, almost like it is a stitch- however I am not exercising when this occurs. It hurts to breath in and when I walk. I was wondering what it could be.

Cardiologist 's  Response
pain you are talking can be because of four factor

-cardiac
-respiratory(lung)
muscular(most likely)
gastric (acid peptic disorder,heavy oily junk food )
anxiety or stress related(2nd most likely in your case)

at a age of 17 cardiac origin pain is highly unlikely

it can be muscular or gastric pain most likely

in case you feel flatulance(passing gas)
acidity
heart burn after meals they also mimic cardiac pain

try
tab pantoprazole domoeridone slow release once daily before breakfast for 14days
tab ultracet(tramadol plus paracetamol) for 3days in case the pain is muscular
