Hi I went to my gp because of pain in my right upper stomach under my ribs. I also constantly have an upset stomach. She order a ultrasound which showed sludge in my gallbladder and blood tests showed high amalyse levels. One min she thinks it s my gallbladder and next my pancreas. I have to go for another blood test and so confuse at the point. Any guidance would b appreciated.

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Raised Amylase with pain abdomen usually occurs on Pancreatitis.
You require :
1. CECT Abdomen
2. MRCP
3. Liver Function tests.
You need to get workup to rule out stone in Common Bile Duct which can cause pancreatitis.
Review with reports so that we can help you better.
Stay Healthy.
