Hi prettypriya, left side stomach pain or aching means you may be suffering from anemia or problems intestine,gastric problem or stomach infections, liver or gallbladder problem. So don't leave it like that, better consult your doctor. Have a good health.

it sounds like cramps to me too. you should also be sure not to drink too much before or while your running. its better to hold the water in your mouth and spit it back out if your mouth dries out. the way you breathe will affect if you get cramps or not as well. try to find a steady breathing rhythm rather than sharp staggered breaths. hopefully this helps!

What you're describing as sounds like cramps. Be sure that before you're running, you're stretching everything. Also, while it's not entirely proven as factual, a lot of people that believe the consumption of bananas can help ease cramps because they are high in potassium. Beware of this though if you're a diabetic since bananas are high in sugar.
