Brief Answer:
A number of causes
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
But this could be due to a number of causes including pancreatitis which can be diagnosed by a blood test for the levels of pancreatic enzymes.
Also, it could be due to pleurisy which can be diagnosed by a chest X-ray.
I would also recommend that you get a stool analysis and a test for h.pylori infection if both came back negative then you should consider an endoscopy.
For the gas problem, you can take Dysflatyl every eight hours or when needed.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
