Brief Answer:
Gall bladder problem to be ruled out first

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

if someone with your symptoms comes to my office i usually do the following:

1. check for inflammation and gall bladder issues through blood work
2. Do an ultrasound of zhe abdomen to check for gall stones and related inflammation.

If this doesn't get better i would recommend that being done by your local GP.

Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
