What Causes Constant Pain In The Upper Abdomen?

I have constant upper abdominal pain. And pressure in my chest especially when I eat or drink. I do not have heartburn though. It is in my back too. It feels like gallbladder pain but I do not have a gallbladder. My stomach hurts and it feels like my food is staying in my chest cavity. I ve taken omeprazol with no help. And I have frequent bloody diarrhea

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to post cholecystectomy syndrome. Taking proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole ( Nexium ) daily will be helpful. Avoid spicy and fatty foods. Get an ultrasound examination to rule out any other problems. If that is clear then fibrogastroduodenoscopy might be required also. A consultation with gastroenterologist is well appreciated.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
