Q: it feels like a spasm below my rib cage. what could that be caused from?

: You could have traumatized the area by lifting a heavy object, coughing a lot or strained it doing exercise or sports. Did you fall down or get hit in that area?. If spasm continues than see a doctor for an x-ray of area.
