Idk what's going on

Background: I'm a 20 year old female. I haven't had anything removed, no surgeries at all.

22 days ago I started having mild pains on my left side. It's still going on now. At first I thought it may be trapped gas or constipation, but I've gone to the bathroom and it hasn't helped. I can move around without it hurting for the most part, but when I try to "suck in" my stomach it hurts, and when I breathe it hurts. On a scale of 1-10 the pain Is only like a 3 or 4. Maybe 5. Nothing bad at all.

I don't know what it is or if it's serious. I'm just kinda scared lol

Are you having regular bowel movements or is it loose?

Just because you've gone to the bathroom doesn't mean it isnt trapped gas. With that being said, if the pain persists more than a week, I would see a doctor. Left side could be something to do with spleen, liver, or pancreas. A simple blood test and/or ultrasound should show any signs of issue.
