Hello
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
I understand your concern and I will be glad to answer it for you.
Left side upper abdominal pain is related to Gastritis rather than Gall stones. Gastritis can cause sorethroat due to reflux sometimes.
Gall stones pain restricts mostly to right side, rarely it is referred to left side.
However, to ruleout the cause of left side pain I advise you to get an ECG and Upper GI Endoscopy done.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
