What can cause RUQ pain?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for providing a detailed history. Based on your symptoms, it is likely that your abdominal pain is originating from either your stomach (gastritis and esophagitis), hiatus hernia, gall bladder stones, or gall bladder dysfunction. It would be helpful to know if your symptoms are related to certain foods, such as fatty or greasy foods, as they can exacerbate right upper abdominal pain. Regarding the ultrasound of your abdomen, please let me know when it was conducted. If it was done within the last seven days, I would like to know the findings related to your gall bladder, specifically if there are any stones present. If possible, kindly upload the ultrasound results. The gas and bloating you are experiencing could also be attributed to gastritis or the medication Sompraz-D 40, which contains Domperidone and Esomeprazole. In particular, Domperidone is known to cause bloating.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. For the RUQ (right upper quadrant) pain, it is recommended to undergo a HIDA scan (hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan) to evaluate gallbladder dysfunction and potentially identify calculus cholecystitis. Moving on to the stomach, if you have a small hiatal hernia, it usually doesn't require surgical correction. Instead, you can discontinue the use of Sompraz-D and switch to taking only Esomeprazole 40 mg daily, preferably 30 minutes before any meal. It's important to consult your doctor, have a discussion, and obtain their consent before making any changes to your medication regimen. In relation to NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), studies have shown that weight loss can significantly reduce the risk of progressing to cirrhosis. Lastly, you mentioned that your cholesterol panel is normal, but it would be helpful to know the specific values for LDL and HDL in order to provide more accurate information.
