What Do Pressure And Pain In The Upper Abdomen Indicate?
I am a 63 year old white female and I am obese, I have been having pressure and sharp pains at times in my left upper abdomen. I thought I might be having gallbladder problems or have kidney or gallbladder stones. I just read online that gallbladder pain is usually on the right side. Any thoughts on what this could be?

Do you have any difficulty in passing urine. If the pain is recurrent and severe you should get an USG abdomen done. Pain of kidney stone can present on the left side. Also considering your age you should also get an EKG done
