I'm experiencing some mild pain and discomfort on both sides just under my lower chest. I think it might be around the lower ribs, but I'm not entirely sure. The pain seems to get worse, especially when I'm walking. Could you tell me what might be causing this?

Question

I'm dealing with some stomach bloating after recovering from a stomach infection, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. Whenever I walk, especially in the evening, I notice this heaviness or mild difficulty in breathing. Plus, there's pressure and bloating in my upper abdomen. My oxygen levels seem fine while walking, ranging between 98 and 99, but I'm wondering if the breathing heaviness is related to the bloating. Could you shed some light on what's happening?
