Gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting you.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
The AST of 94 which was seen in an earlier check up is abnormal and could have been due to alcoholic hepatitis. But the recent report which is attached here shows AST as 18 which is within normal limits. The rest of the liver panel is also normal. The ultrasound scan also has not shown anything abnormal about liver. So the pain is not due to liver issue.
The other possibilities are pancreatitis and gastritis.
But pancreatitis is also ruled out as the report is showing a normal level of lipase and also you have mentioned ultrasound scan was normal.
So the most likely cause is gastritis.
You can get an endoscopy done to confirm it. Till then you can continue taking omeprazole.
Avoid alcohol and smoking.
Avoid taking any painkiller medications.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
