[goodguy19]

hi im 20yo
5weeks ago i started to have this annoying belly button pain/right side  and then progressed to severe burning upper abdomen/chest...it was so bad the burning  i couldnt wash or sleep..hospital did ultrasound was normal...blood test showed high wbc which went back to normal...pain isnt severe but yet its there daily on my belly button area/right side abdomen ...i do sometimes get the burning again but not severe...what can be the cause??

can it be chronic appendicites? ulcers? stress? :(  i had stress anxiety before but they never gave me tummy aches etc..can also be from poor posture?

Definitely have your gall bladder checked out. An ultrasound might not necessarily show up if your not in the middle of a gall bladder attack. A HIDDA scan may help to determine if its your gall bladder. It could also be any of the things you already mentioned. Also have your pancreas checked out too. A gastro doctor may be a good place to start if your PCP can't find out whats wrong. Good luck to you.

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems.  Right upper abdominal and chest pain can be due to cholecystitis (inflammation of gall bladder), stones in gall bladder, abscess under the diaphragm, liver problems or due to duodenal ulcer. Right flank pain is generally due to kidney stones. Pain on right side of belly button can be chronic appendicitis, ir IBS or Crohn’s.
Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, carbonated drinks and spicy food. This may help you if the burning sensation is due to acidity.
Pinched nerves in the thoracic spine can also cause burning sensation in upper abdomen and chest area. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!
