Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is most likely due to gastritis caused by hormonal imbalance. It could be due to cholelithiasis. Get your ultrasound abdomen to rule out the possibility of gall bladder stone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
