Starvation-like pain underneath ribs

This morning I woke up fine and headed off to work. At around 11 AM I began to feel a pain that felt like I was just very hungry. I had eaten breakfast before-hand. As the day progressed it got worse. It was very uncomfortable and I tried eating around 2 but that did not help and I did not have much of an appetite, rather I felt worse just from trying to eat. I ended up leaving work early around 4. It is now 4am and I cannot sleep because it is so painful. I had some chicken soup an hour or two ago which I was able to finish, but often when swallowing the pain intensified right below my ribs and above my stomach.

I'm a 23 year old female. I just started my period; I have a bit of an iron deficiency but I have never had a pain like this before. I have not eaten anything out of the ordinary as far back as I can remember.

Any suggestions? :(

maybe a build up of gas? I've had chronic problems with this. I'm a 22 year old female and it's been going on for me since I was very young. The thing is, sometimes it's hard to tell that it's gas/air, but for me it can sometimes build up so much and be so painful, that on a few occasions, I've been unable to stand up, was screaming and crying because it feels like i am going to literally burst open. I was nearly rushed to the hospital for this the last time it occured. It always starts moving around and goes away after a 20 or 30 minutes, but it can be extremely painful. Also, sometimes when I've had really bad gas, i'll mistake it for severe hunger pangs . It feels similar.
