What Causes Discomfort In Upper, Middle Part Of Stomach Without Gall Bladder?

For the past couple of days I have a little discomfort in the upper, middle part of my stomach- like at the top of the rib cage. I can feel the discomfort when I move and when I lay on my back, it feels like a ball of pressure but after a little bit it goes away then comes back when I turn over on my side. I don't get nauseating but I will feel kinda "blah" some times. I dont have a gallbladder so not that..I have taken anti acid pills and they do nothing.

Hello
I have gone through your query

If i were your treating doctor peptic ulcer would have been on my top list for which i would have suggested upper gastro intestinal endoscopy and H pylori test.then i would have prescribed triple antibiotics such as an ampicillin cefixime and metronidazole with a proton pump inhibitor sucha as esomeprazole 40mg for 14 days.

Second on my list would have been pancreatitis for which i would have suggested serum amylase and lipase.

3rd on my list would have been pappilitis which is inflammation of gallbladder stump left after surgery.

I would suggest you to meet a gastroenterologist.

Thanks
Wish you good health
