What Causes Radiating Pain From Below Breast To Shoulder?
I m a 26 y.o. female who is 5 1 and weighs 190. I have been in good health with migraines and seasonal allergies being my only health problems until now. I have been experiencing right chest pain just below my boob that radiates into my shoulder. The only way it stops is when I vomit. I ve had a normal HIDA scan, ultrasound, and scope but am still having pain along with nausea and vomiting. I was told that there is a test like the HIDA scan where they inject the gallbladder making it spasm and take pictures. Is this true and if so what is it called?

welcome to hcm
as your pain is relieved by vomitting .
according to my ipinion it is gastritis so please take antacid for a few days as tab pentprazole 40 mg two times ...domperidone 15 mg two times
avoid fried fast foods
avoid coffee tea alcohal
avoid spices pickles
if there is no response with above medicines and precautions after 1 week then please go for tests for pancreatic disaese as serum lipase ...serum amylase ..serum alkaline phoshphatase and CT abdomen
as you have hida scan already but hida scan is for biliary stasis or gall bladder disease
but instead of hida scan go for my advise as pain releiving with vomitting is typical feature of gastritis
if you have further query you can contact me i would be more than happy to help you
