Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

The important organs in upper right quadrant of abdomen which we call right epigastric region contains are liver, gall bladder, part of intestine etc. There can be various reasons for this kind of pain. Physical examination is mandatory to assess this. Sometimes, indigestion may also cause this kind of pain. However, you may need investigations like ultrasound abdomen to properly diagnose the condition. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications.
