Have you injured yourself lately? If so, see a doctor, if not, it could be gas. Make a tea out of anise seeds, add sugar to taste & drink it, it will soon start to get rid of your trapped gases.

If the pain has been fairly consistent since December, then you need to see your doctor. It's not unusual to get ocassional twinges of pain in the rib area. There are muscles and other soft tissues that can get cramps and catches. However, if you are having fairly consistent pain, then you should not ignore it. Depending on what side it is on, it could be your gallbladder or liver. If it is in the center of your chest it could be heart related (although I am guessing you are young and this is not likely) or it could be a stomach issue. I wish you good luck.

Does it hurt when you breathe in and out? If so, it could be Pleurisy, I have had that happen to me and it is quite scary but not dangerous. Hope this helps.
