pain in upper right side

I have reoccurring pain in the area of my duodenum(sic) especially if I eat the wrong foods
I was once diagnosed with diverticulitis, and since hypertension.
The hypertension is under control with the use of 240 mg cardizem cd
tabs taken in the AM.  I follow that with .25 mg of Xanax to control
the jitters the cardizem seems to cause.  I also take a baby asprin at night.  After I had been taking the
cardizem about 8 weeks I noticed edema in my hands each morning upon
waking, this will go away after I get up an move around.  I keep thinking
this will go away with time but after 8 months it still persists.
Back to the pain in my upper right side, I know some of it is gas
however I feel like there is a cause but I don't know what is causing
the gas.  Exercise does help alleviate the pain.  Maalox tabs chewed after meals
also help but I would like to be without the pain part forever.
