Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Pain right hypochondrium with history of overweight is likely suggestive of gastric or biliary in origin. Get a routine work up, abdominal ultrasound and pancreas work up.
Take some pepto and avoid ibuprofen as that is NSAID and may rather worsen it. Antacids, diet and lifestyle modifications and losing weight will help.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
