I have pain on left side of my body inside my rib cage, hurts when i lay on left side, breath sometimes and after i eat, what could it be?

Inflammation or GERD: Most likely costochondritis ( inflammation of the cartilage in the chest wall) or GERD. Could also be related to heart & lung disease, so I recommend seeing a physician.
