My last dr appt and labs were normal and well. I do have Gerd and hypertension that well controlled. The pain isn t debilitating or moving. It almost feels like indigestion.

it is a sign of inflammation / contraction of the gall bladder or the diaphragm and should not be a reason to worry much!

however, you could go for a chest Xray to rule out lung problems if any.

all the best!
