background info, 18 years old, male, healthy, 5'9, 130 lbs. i worked out almost everyday but now i can't because i keep getting this weird cramp right below my rib cage near the center of my torso, on the left side. its hard to describe exactly where it is but i think that does a good job. i get it every time i walk or run, and never when i lift weights. sometimes it feels much stronger than a regular cramp and it's not where i would normaly get cramps (actually i never get cramps when i run). i would just really like to know what is cause this weird cramp to happen EVERY single time i walk. for example, today, i walked to my class which is about 10 minutes away from the parking lot and i got "the cramp" after only a minutes of walking. my breathing is fine and idk what the hell is causing it. could it just be growing pains, malnutrition, or a heart problem? i really doubt it being a heart problem but im not rulint it out. i would rather have an answer from a doctor of physician. thanx

You need to see a doctor. This could be a number of things. I have had paitents with the same complaints with a punctured diaphram and with a bad case of gass.
Best of luck to you.

I'd go see a doctor for a quick checkup and maybe take yoga.
But there are many things that cause cramping there. First you might need to drink more water, especially if you work out a lot; you'll need more water. You could have indigestion or have some acid reflux beginning. Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for reflux and for long symptoms of indigestion maybe find somethng to clean your bowels like a 3 day cleanse or use some charcoal tablets over the counter that clean your bowels.

you're experiencing what's generally a side stitch. the reason for a side stitch isn't user-friendly for particular, even nevertheless curiously to be a consequence of inadequate blood furnish to the diaphragm or tightness interior the ligaments that carry the liver and different inner organs in place. Weight lifting and working could reason inflammation of inner ligaments which makes them hypersensitive to any added rigidity. regrettably, there are not many stuff that could properly be performed to alleviate side stitches - now and back stretching enables (and now and back makes it worse), alongside with different issues like heading off exercising on an entire abdomen, and final hydrated. besides, there seems to be a link between electrolyte stability and side stitches in some people. facets stitches now and back disappear while people take a magnesium or potassium supplement. Low physique fat (< 6%) may additionally reason this problem because of the fact there is not any longer adequate fat to cushion the organs.
