What Causes Cramp Like Pain In Upper Abdomen While Deep Breathing?

I have had a cramp type pain in the upper right stomach behind the ribs, it started this morning a couple of hours after getting up and on getting to work. It hurts more on a deeper intake of breath. Could this be anything to do with the partial gall bladder removal I had a couple of years ago. The surgeon could not remove it all because it had adhered to some artery that supplies the heart.

Hi.
This looks more of a lung or pleura problem.
Go for the X-ray chest and you may find a problem in the chest , the pain being a referred type.
Ultrasonography will help to know about the Partially removed gall bladder and the liver and other organs.
I find this answer helpful
