Stomach Pain

[Kat]

I have been experience a minor pain on my left side under my rib cage. It has been coming and going for the past two months. I have been diagnosed with depression which causes me to worry exstensively. I have had other stomach problems in the past, but the docters couldn't find anything wrong. I also have a history of alcohol abuse (I know, not the smartest thing for a depressed person). I hate to keep going to the doctor everytime there is an ache or pain, I feel like I may over reacting. This pain does not feel like acid or gas. More like something is inflammed. I am concerned that I may have something seriously wrong with me, but don't know if I even have symptoms of anything. There is no fever, occasional loose bowels but not bad, no blood. I also have been going through a lot of life changes lately which have been very stressful. I am on no medication.
Questions, What coluld this pain be and at what point should I be seriously worried?

i dont know- but i am having very similar problems. i too am bipolar/manic and had a "verge of puking" nausea attack that lasted about 6 days with a dull pain from the top of my rib cage to my lowest organs in the front and back.it turned into a sharp pain in my lower right side- the hospital thought it was appendicitis but the tests came up clean. i dont know if its a real problem or all in my head. i have quit my antidepression meds and been drinking nightly for 3 months. if you find an answer to your questiuon- please let me know. thanks.

I have been experiencing pain in my left side, below my breat, actulally it is more above my hip side.  It is a contant stabbing. I thought it might be indegestion, I took some Thumbs but no releif.  Should I be concerned.  I do not drink at all, but I am a smoker.

I woke up in the middle of the night with pain surrounding my navel, and also a lot under my navel. The pain is constant, no matter what position I am in. I know that my eating has no effect on it, and I am sure it's not heartburn. So I was wondering if you could tell me what my problem, and if there is a specific medicine.
