Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms could be related to irritable bowel syndrome or gallbladder stones.
As the pain is not triggered by touching, a musculo-skeletal pain can be excluded.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:
-complete blood count
- ALT, AST
- Bilirubin levels
- gama GT
- ESR, PCR for inflammation
- an abdominal ultrasound.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
