I was lying down after dinner tonight and started to notice this pulsating feeling in my left upper stomach area, just below the rib cage. I'm taking blood pressure meds, so I'm a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? What might be causing it?

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest, and I found out that my ESR is 25. My vitamin D3 level is really low at 3.75. I got a CT scan of my lungs, and everything came back normal. I'm curious if taking vitamin D3 supplements will help with this chest pain, or do you think I should see a cardiologist about it?
