Is Sharp Pain In Left Shoulder Sign Of Gall Stone?

I have a sharp pain in my left shoulder tip, it is worst when I am lying down and during the night, I am also belching quite a bit.At first I thought it may be an ulcer but my medication does not seem to be helping. I have been reading about the symptoms of gallstones and they sound very similar to what I am having, except the pain should be on the right side. what else could it be?
