Brief Answer:
Such symptoms can occur due to dyspepsia
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic
The symptoms like pain in shoulder region before dinner and then burning feeling in right side of back could occur due to cholecystitis. Elevated liver enzymes along with pain in the right upper abdomen and shoulder radiation increases the suspicion of gall bladder disease.
It can happen sometimes that the ultrasound failed to pick up the stones or inflammation in gall bladder. It would be worthwhile to wait for a period of 2 weeks and get a repeat scan done to ascertain the absence of any gall bladder pathology due to a high index of suspicion.
You are taking Prozac for anxiety and as per my opinion this has nothing to do with your symptoms. The doses you are taking are high but still anxiety and the medicine are not the cause for such symptoms.
As per my opinion there is no urgent need to worry. Take plenty of water and antacids and the symptoms would decrease.
Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again.
