Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the question.

I am most concerned that this may be pancreatitis or gastritis - both of which require a physical exam and possibly labs or imaging.

Tell me more history - how long you have had it and what makes it better or worse and we will work on a plan for you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
