Rib cage pain?

Hi There,
I wonder if you can help me -
For the past 2 months on and off I've been getting
severe pain on the right hand side right under the rib.
It only lasts about 1 minute - I stand up and it goes
away. If the pain was longer than a minute I think I'd
pass out. I cannot move or breath right when I get this.
Last week I had a severely strained back for 24 hours right
under the shoulder blade. Again, I couldn't move - Thank
God for the heating pad which helped. What could this
possibly be? I'm 45. Thank you. Laura/NJ
