What Causes Chest Pains After Consumption Of Alcohol?
I am a 29 year old female with a history of drinking on the weekends since about age 20. I am 5'00" and 135 pounds. I am having upper right quadrant pain frequently, particularly after drinking. My liver enzyme tests have all been normal, and all other bloodwork was normal. An ultrasound showed a clear/normal looking gallbladder, liver and pancreas. The only note was a kidney stone in my right kidney. About a week ago, my doctor prescribed me Omeprazole 20MG twice a day. I have some relief, but I still have the pain after I drink even one beer. What could be the problem?

DEAR USER
THANKS FOR CONSULTING AT HCM
YOUR PAIN ABDOMEN IS USUALLY DO GASTRITIS THAT IS INDUCED BY YOUR ALCOHOL
YOU MIGHT BE SUFFERING FROM ULCERATIVE DYSPEPSIA
I ADVISE YOU TO GO FOR AN ENDOSCOPY AND CONSULT A GASTROENTEROLOGIST FOR IT
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU STOP ALCOHOL INTAKE AS WELL
HOPE I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
