Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your symptoms can be caused by gallbladder disease like gallstones in the gallbladder.

You may feel pain in the upper abdomen and upper back. Also nausea and vomiting may occur.

High triglycerides can increase the risk of the stones so it is important to lose weight, limit fatty food, get more exercise and limit alcohol consumption.

I would order an ultrasound of the abdomen to look for the cause of our symptoms.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
