Pain In Right Side Below Ribs After Having Certain Food. Should I Visit Doctor?
If i have a pain in the right side below the ribbs when I eat oily food, eggs, drink frozen orange juice, take vitamin C or Omega 3 pills. Pain sometimes decrease when i drink some teas as pepermint. The pain is like having a needle when i do some movements or when i am abusing of oily food. What doctor i should visit to take care of me?
Upper right side pain is very characteristic for gallstones. Especially if the pain radiates to the back. Nausea and vomiting can be present. Certain food like fatty food, spicy food, alcohol trigger the pain. Yes, you should visit a doctor, have blood work, liver tests (AST,ALT,GGTP,AP) and abdominal ultrasound. If the gallstones will be confirmed, surgery needs to be done. In a meanwhile please avoid foods which you find triggering the pain.
Hope this will help. Regards.
