Mild pain in left side under ribs

Ok, so the symptoms are, mild pain and feeling bloated on the left side under ribs, for like 2 months now, stool, i don't know , some times is yellow , and for 2 weeks i have extreme dizziness and feeling tired all the time, it could relate with the pain , or it could be from work since i work 15 hours a day standing up all the time. I used to go to the gym and I was thinking  maybe a hernia? I am so afraid is something bad, that i thing it affected my psychic condition as well, since when i try to sleep, i feel like i have no air and after 2 minutes of trying to sleep, i woke up gasping for air and feeling like I'm gonna faint.. Since this thing is happening only when i try to sleep i was thinking maybe a panic attack ? Because i overthink my problem too much? I also had my blood tested and everything was ok, liver kidneys etc, had an ekg for the heart, blood pressure, levels of sugar, everything was ok, maybe the blood sugar was a little bit low, about 5 but nothing to worry the doctor said. I will make next an ultrasound to my belly to see if this helps... Has anybody had those symptoms and figure it out what it is?

I was thinking pancreatic cancer since I smoke a lot , but I dont have the simptoms , no jaundice,  no fatty stools , only dizziness and very fatigue , my ear sometimes I can hear a buzzing sound but for couple of seconds and not often , bloating in left side under ribs and sometimes wheb I go to bed and sleep with belly side down I can feel a discomfort but it goes away after 10 minutes ,. And the thing with pulsations all around my body when I try to sleep , I used a foot massage device that was electric 2 months ago, and it felt those impulses in my body exactly the same . Could that foot massage thing messed up my body?

Hi, your symptoms of dizziness could be due to postural hypotension, where in upon standing blood pooling occurs in the legs and the brain is deprived of adequate blood supply and oxygenation.  This is more common in the elderly and in people with diabetes mellitus. Inadequate sleep can also cause tiredness, fatigue and dizziness. Other causes for these symptoms are inner ear infections; brain disorders, heart problems, fever, stress, low blood pressure and anxiety. Discuss these options with your doctor when you happen to meet him next time. Good luck with your therapy. Regards.
