Hello,
The possible causes are acute cholecystitis or cholelithiasis.
Other possibilities like hepatitis or peptic ulcer disease or food intolerance etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use tablet pantoprazole. Get it done ultrasound abdomen and upper GI endoscopy.
Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
