Brief Answer:
Possible liver or gallbladder problem. Consider an ultrasound to rule out
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using "Ask a doctor" service.
From what you are describing it can be muscular problem, a gallbladder problem or a liver problem.
Since this is a thing happening more then one time, I would recommend to consider doing an ultrasound so you can have a look at the liver and the gallbladder. If everything turns out normal then it is most probably nothing to worry about.
Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards, Dr. Klarida Papaqako, General and Family physician.
