Brief Answer:
Like gastric discomfort

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Pain or discomfort in right hypochondrium with gallbladder and pancreatic profile and blood work up all clear is likely a gastric discomfort secondary to inflammation AKA gastritis.

NSAIDs painkillers use, drinking or eating spicy or fatty food etc are the commonest cause of these pains. I would suggest some home remedies like small frequent meals, avoiding spices, irritants, caffeine, tea, smoking , drinking etc. Drinking plenty of fluids and cold milk helps. Some gastric motility enhancement medications also help.

Also take some pepto and antispasmodics easily available over the counter . I am sure the pain will relieve. If the symptoms persists get a gastroenterological evaluation for further management.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
