Brief Answer: details below Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query. Probably you are suffering from acid peptic disease. In simple terms lot of gastric acid is being produced, leading to bloating sensation. Another problem is right sided upper abdomen pain, which may be related to gall bladder disease. I would suggest you to go for an ultrasound of abdomen. This will help in finding out the exact problem Also start on antacids and take isabgul husk. This will take care of bloating and constipation. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you

Brief Answer: not always related Detailed Answer: Hello, Gall bladder disease is not always related to cancer. It is quiet common and is usually due to formation of gall stones. As you have gastritis too, it is better to avoid pain killers. Pain killer tablets may lead to development of ulcers. If pain is lot you can take paracetamol. It is safest of the above. Thank you
