Tightness under left side rib cage after drinking coffee?

Last two weeks, I get a tightness under my left side rib cage right after drinking coffee. Sodas and other caffeine drinks don't bother it, just coffee. It doesn't hurt, but it lasts two days. it just feels like a tight muscle. Never had this before. I am 46. Going to the bathroom and "pushing" makes me feel it more. Other than that, I can't get to it and have no other symptoms, allergies, or gastro problems. 

What is this and why? I can find no other info on the net. Please do not put SEE A DOCTOR.

    What do you want us to do for you other then tell you to see a doctor. We don’t know you, most people on here aren’t MD’s and if they are they still don’t know your medical history, and all the things we would need to know to tell you if there is a serious issue or not
